AMD’s Embedded and Semi-Custom Revenues To Generate High Growth In The Next 5 Years?

Posted on by

We expect AMD‘s Embedded & Semi-Custom Revenue to grow at a CAGR of approximately 10% to $3.5 billion over our review period. At present, the segment accounts for about 53% of the company’s overall revenues and we expect this figure to increase to 58% by 2021. This is essentially because we believe that the key driver of revenue growth for this segment going forward will be the increasing use of AMD’s embedded processors in products that require high-to-moderate levels of performance, where key features include low cost, mobility, low power, and small form factor. The company also offers semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products, the demand for which is driven by game console companies. All major game consoles — including Sony’s PlayStation 4, Nintendo’s Wii U and Microsoft’s Xbox One — are powered by AMD’s semi-custom SoCs. Embedded & Semi-Custom segment revenue has significantly increased in the last few years, from an estimated $409 million in 2012 to more than $2 billion in 2015. AMD’s embedded products range from low-power x86 architecture-based processors to high-performance, enterprise class, harsh environment-capable x86 architecture-based products.

The New Breed Of Real Estate Agents

Posted on by

Compass’ recent financing round with a $1B price valuation, only four years after launch, is proof that things are changing in real estate and specifically for real estate agents and their clients. It may be hard to conceptualize, especially for millennial homebuyers, but 15 years ago, the real estate market was a different beast, information-wise. When records used to be buried in file folders, it put buyers in a much different place than they are today, a time when they are able to access detailed property records on their smartphones within minutes.
