Amd R&D resources have increased 15%

2017 has been an excellent year for AMD thanks to the success of its Ryzen processors, EPYC and graphics cards, this has increased the resources available to the company for R&D by 15%, which will help it to be more competitive against its rivals over the next few years.

AMD has 15% more resources for research and development

AMD have made a great effort to develop the Zen microarchitecture that gives life to its Ryzen processors, especially considering the few financial resources it had and that these had to be allocated to the processor and graphics card divisions.

That is why Ryzen was a bet on all or nothing, if it were a failure it would have condemned AMD to bankruptcy and possibly would have ended up being absorbed by another company, names like Microsoft and Samsung sounded very strong something more ago one year.

Fortunately, everything went well and AMD's R&D resources have increased by 15% throughout the whole of 2017, not a huge change, but it will certainly help the company to be more competitive for the future. The situation could be even better this year 2018 with the launch of the second generation of Ryzen processors and the first APUs based on the Zen architecture and Vega graphics.

Nor can we forget the collaboration between AMD and Intel to integrate Vega M graphics cores in Kaby Lake-G processors, and EPYC processors that can become much more popular due to the problems that Intel's silicons are having due to the Meltdown vulnerability.

2018 should be the year AMD finally abandons losses and is a year in the green, an important step forward for the company's future.
