AMD promises to make more GPUs available

It looks like cryptocurrency-mining demand will continue

AMD has decided that cryptocurrency-mining demand will continue a bit longer and is going to step up production of its Radeon products.

This move is slightly different to Nvidia which thinks it is better to just restrict sales of its products to two GPUs per customers.

AMD CEO Lisa Su signaled a possible change in the company's tack on cryptocurrency-mining demand for its Radeon products; she previously predicted that cryptocurrency demand would soften throughout the fourth quarter of 2017.

However, the consistently high prices of Bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrency in the intervening time, plus the gold-rush levels of excitement from folks hoping to cash in on the boom with GPU mining rigs of their own has forced Su to think the bubble will last a bit longer.
