AMD took 10.4% CPU market share from Intel in Q2 2017

Intel must be shaking in its boots over the various threats from AMD, and now there's news that AMD has scooped back a huge 10.4% of the CPU market share from Intel... all in Q2 2017.

AMD now owns 31% of the CPU market, which is a huge freakin' deal compared to the 20% they had just three months ago. This is the largest CPU share dominance AMD has enjoyed over the last 10 years, and a 10% gain in the CPU market in a single quarter is a massive achievement.

OSVR Hacker Developer Kit 2 Review

OSVR’s HDK2 matches the display specifications of HTC's Vive and Oculus' Rift. The rest of the package pales in comparison, though. When Sensics and Razer started OSVR, the group’s mission was clear: create an open source VR platform to give developers and hardware manufacturers a starting point upon which they could build their own HMDs and accessories.
