As of the second quarter of its financial year, American chipmaker AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) announced a record-breaking rise in its market cap. The tech giant crossed the market cap mark of $100 billion, rising to new heights as its main competitor Intel faced delays in the development phase of 7 nm chips.
On the other side, AMD markets TSMC-manufactured silicone, one of the biggest players in the chip manufacturing industry. Since of this, the American chipmaker will easily sell goods based on the 7 nm process.

They added that the market share of the company could hit as much as 50% within a year, and if that happens, the per-share earnings will hit $6.75, which is an impressive growth level.
