VR to be worth $100M claims AMD

Stefan Mileschin · 17th December 2015, 09:35

Enthusiasts, or those with the cash for a Radeon Fury X and Geforce GTX 980 TI or Titan, expect to see a boom of VR devices such as HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift. But according to AMD's CFO the VR business will start making some serious money only in 2020.

The first consumer devices including HTC Vive and Oculus should start shipping in early 2016, unless they are delayed further. You will need quite a high end computer to run these games and demos.

There is severe shortage of VR content but there is little doubt that VR will become successful in a few generations. Devinder Kumar who works as a Chief Financial Officer of AMD believes that AR and VR combined might grow to a $100M by 2020. He talked about it at least week's Raymond James Technology Investors Conference.
