AMD introduced two new product lines, which is a serious threat to Intel and Nvidia
Rating:
Loading...In the high-end computer hardware space, Intel and Nvidia have been dominant for years, while AMD has been a distant third-place competitor — mainly because AMD hardware has been considered underpowered for high-end professional workstations and gaming PCs. Indeed, if money weren't a factor, most people would go for an Intel Core i7 processor and a high-end Nvidia GTX graphics card.
AMD announced the pricing and release dates of two new product lines that could prove to be worthy alternatives to Intel's Core i7 processor and Nvidia's high-end GTX graphics card. AMD's two new product lines include a new line of high-end Ryzen Threadripper processors and Radeon RX Vega graphics cards.
AMD claims its Radeon RX Vega 64 graphics card can match Nvidia's powerful GTX 1080 graphics cards in the peak frame rates during gameplay. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the gameplay, and the better the experience.
The frame rates in the RX Vega 64 (43) don't dip down as far as the GTX 1080's results (26), which suggests the RX Vega 64 graphics card provides smoother overall gameplay.
AMD's new product lineup hasn't gone through third-party benchmark testing yet, so the verdict is still out whether or not its claims sound true. We'll have to wait and see whether the new hardware is worthy of a high-end PCs when the new hardware is properly tested.
