Advanced Micro Devices Establishes New 2017 High As New Ryzen Processors To Ship Next Week

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. AMD shares appeared to ride higher Tuesday on reports its Ryzen 7 1800X could ship as early as March 2.

However, an AMD representative told Benzinga that the pointed release date was mere speculation. Drew Prairie confirmed the company’s previous assertion of a product release in “early March.”

The device — an unlocked eight-core processor expected to rival the performance of more expensive products from Intel Corporation INTC — is allegedly posted in online European markets and has already been seen at Fry’s Electronics in the United States.

AMD will lift its embargo on product reviews Feb. 28 — the same day as the company’s Capsaicin & Cream event at the 2017 Game Developers Conference. The coincidental overlap has some expecting a Ryzen debut at the event.

As of publication, AMD shares were trading up 6 percent on the day at a rate of $13.98.
