It’s officially a two-horse race in the CPU and GPU market again.
Pick a casual gamer off the street today and ask them what their preferred CPU and GPU manufacturers are. Chances are, they’ll say Intel and NVIDIA. The sad irony to this is that while Intel makes processors and NVIDIA makes graphics chips, it’s AMD that makes both.
AMD should have a wealth of experience and design expertise to draw on. Indeed, in its heyday, it was AMD that beat Intel to x86-based 64bit processors with its Opteron and Athlon 64 chips.
Unfortunately, AMD has lagged behind Intel and NVIDIA in recent years. It became known as the budget option, and has not been a serious contender in the enthusiast space for way too long.
