AMD's Latest Chips Set the Stage for a Stellar Year

The chipmaker is extending its performance leadership over Intel across all categories.AMD has already made big inroads into its primary rival Intel Corp.’s market lead in recent years, thanks to its top-performing “Zen” chip architecture. But last week’s release of its EPYC 7003 server processors may prove to be an even bigger game-changer. With third-party reviewers saying the new chips offer more than double the performance of Intel’s best, AMD’s share gains in the lucrative, high-profit marg
