The company reported for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 A few days after Intel, AMD also published its financial report. The company has completed the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. [caption id="attachment_77691" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD's[/caption] If Intel's revenue decreased and net profit fell by more than 70%, then AMD's situation is better. Revenue rose 8% to $5.8 billion, and operating profit amounted to $224 million versus a loss of $64 million a year earlier. Net income rose more than 1,000% to $299 million. AMD's net profit grew by 1000% and equaled Intel's net profit By the way, Intel's net profit was only $1 million higher, which is very interesting. At the same time, Intel's revenue is almost 2.5 times higher than that of its competitor. It’s also worth noting that the data center products segment did not grow year-on-year in the past quarter, although it has been actively driving AMD’s revenue upward in recent years. However, sales in the consumer segment increased by 42%, mainly due to the full entry into the market of Ryzen 7000 mobile APUs. AMD's gaming business fell 8% due to lower revenue from sales of semi-custom products.

Will take place on December 14 Intel has already announced that it will introduce Meteor Lake processors on December 14, but only now has it announced the corresponding event.  [caption id="attachment_77679" align="alignnone" width="780"] Core i. Intel[/caption] On this day, Core Ultra will replace Core i. Intel announced the AI ​​Everywhere event It's called AI Everywhere, and the name tells us that Intel will place a lot of emphasis on AI when announcing new CPUs. Let us remind you that Meteor Lake will be the first Intel consumer processor with a hardware unit to accelerate AI. Some mobile Ryzen 7040 APUs already have a similar solution, but so far for most users this is a meaningless part of the CPU. However, according to multiple leaks, a big emphasis on AI will be placed in Windows 12, so perhaps then all these processors will reveal a new side.  At the agreed event, Intel will also present Xeon Scalable processors of the Emerald Rapids generation.  

There are few details yet It looks like the new generation of smartwatches with Wear OS will become much more autonomous. Qualcomm announced that it is jointly developing the Snapdragon Wear platform based on the RISC-V architecture with Google. [caption id="attachment_71231" align="aligncenter" width="600"] RISC-V[/caption] Qualcomm is moving from Arm to RISC-V. The press release says that the new platform will be aimed generally at devices in the wearable electronics segment with Wear OS, but for now, this is only smartwatches. Perhaps with the release of such a platform the range of devices will expand. Qualcomm says the development will help pave the way for more products in the ecosystem that can take advantage of dedicated processors with low power consumption and high performance. It is not yet clear when the first such SoC will appear, but Qualcomm promises to talk about it later.
