There might be some upside in workstation/server but those markets are smaller and have more inertia to new chips.

Considering that AMD has 0.2% server market share (saw that number
recently in press around Zen release) it has nowhere to go but up.

The first Ryzen parts are pretty impressive, especially getting 8 decent
IPC cores clocked at reasonable speeds at reasonable TDP. Not Intel
killers some here hoped but staggeringly better than anything AMD had
before.

AMD will still lean heavily on price to sell but at least they will be able
to sell a fair amount if they can make and bin them in volume.

The best part is finally we have some fire under Intel's ass to release
more competitive SKUs of existing products and stop pushing out intros
of new products. More better products, less diversity hiring self back
patting press releases - finally get it BK? The fate of my remaining INTC
holdings awaits your answer.
