On the back of impressive performance, yield, and cost metric for AMD's market-warping Ryzen and server-shaking EPYC processors, securities firm Rosenblatt Securities' Hans Mosesmann has affirmed a "Buy" rating for AMD's stock, while saddling Intel with a seldom-seen "Sell". All in all, there have been a number of changes in Intel's market ratings; there seems to be a downgrade trend towards either "Hold" or "Sell" scenarios compared to the usual "Buy" ratings given by edge funds and financial analysts - ratings which are undoubtedly affected (at least in part) by AMD's Ryzen and EPYC execution.

Additional news (well, more like rumors at this point, but analysts may have more information than we do) on Ryzen's yields beating expectations, at over 80% for fully-functional 8-core dies, also served to shake this recommendation. This speaks to AMD's current momentum in the high-performance x86 market. Hands and hats down to AMD, Jim Keller and his team, as well as to Lisa Su's leadership, for this momentous fight-back, clawing their way to relevance again.
