I have a slightly different take on AMD these days, in that I don&#x27;t think they were undervalued, at least not too much, but rather I think they saw the direction the future held and jumped at it, thinking they would be ahead of intel, mostly in their understanding of the merging of cpu and gpu. I simply think they did it a bit too fast and left their other offerings with too little resources, but now that they are using the 14nm and 16nm manufacturing process, Zen is poised to be a much heavier hitter than I think most people understand yet.<p>So they <i>werent</i> undervalued too much, but they are now, and so I think you are probably correct about more radical upwards corrections.<p>I am especially excited to see their server cpus with zen. My favorite machine I have ever built is actually an AMD machine, and I built it fairly recently because there are some models in which they excel. (Its a quad opteron 6380 system for a total of 64 cores at 2.5ghz, and I did it for less than 5k$ Something I theorycrafted while in bioinformatics, though I didnt get to buld it until I was no longer in that industry.)<p>Also, I&#x27;ll say that I have been looking at building a new system for my gamedev purposes, and I have concluded that I am going to wait for Zen. If they miss the q4 2016 release though they may lose the mindshare momentum they are bulding up.
