The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is simply the best gaming CPU around right now. It's certainly the best gaming chip that AMD has ever made, but it's also capable of outperforming Intel's top CPU when it comes to gaming frame rates and is doing so for a lot less cash. It's also a lot less power-thirsty, too.
Based on a principle of multiple microscopic CPUs working in tandem, AMD's Ryzen CPU outperformed Intel's CPUs in speed and efficiency, and most importantly - cost only half as much. Ryzen and its later updates subsequently added tens of billions to AMD's revenues, and in 2022, AMD surpassed Intel in market cap, although not in chip market share.
While AMD's MI300 GPU is a viable competitor to Nvidia's H100, industry publication Tom's Hardware estimates that AMD's new chips sell for just 25% the price of Nvidia's H100, despite their similar performance. This means less room for growth and lower margins.
Unlike Intel, AMD does not own manufacturing facilities in the US. Dr. Su's reputation and ties to Taiwan have created a strong relationship with manufacturing facilities owned by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, TSMC. While the relationship remains robust, geopolitical tensions between Taiwan and China continue to be a supply chain risk factor.
