AMD Leaps Forward in Laptop Gaming With New Ryzen Processor
Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC) tenuous lead in the video-gaming laptop market was threatened a little more on Monday, when Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) unveiled two computer processors built from the ground up with mobility in mind. The Ryzen 9 4900H and the Ryzen 9 4900HS are the best-performing laptop CPUs yet among AMD's 4000 series of processors, putting Intel's top-of-the-line i9 9880H laptop gaming-capable CPU directly in its sights.
To the non-gamer, the specs won't mean much. And to the average investor, the news won't mean a whole lot more. Advanced Micro Devices has been chipping away at Intel's dominance of the central processor market since 2017, when the first Ryzen CPU was released. Shareholders have become accustomed to seeing Intel lose ground. But it's still the market leader.
Monday's announcement, however, is another warning to Intel and its investors that AMD remains a serious threat to future growth.
