How would you like to see AMD Ryzen powering up your smartphone? The next-generation CPU of AMD is set to go beyond powering gaming PCs in 2017, setting its eyes towards mainstream netbooks, laptops, desktops, and eventually smartphones.

The superb architecture of AMD Ryzen will not only wage war against the Intel Kaby Lake processor, but also set to challenge its upcoming Cannonlake chipset. With Ryzen on the frontline, AMD also gears to take on Qualcomm, Samsung, and Nvidia to secure a strong footing in the chipset market. Intel has already explored the mobile processor arena with Asus ZenFone as its flagship host. However, it has yet to show the magnitude of its influence in the field dominated by Samsung and Qualcomm.

AMD Ryzen could do well in the smartphone market, considering its power efficiency; meaning, the mobile batteries that will host these devices could last longer with this next-gen chipset under their hoods. With the success of the Ryzen's preview run last December 13, AMD is expected to gain momentum and eventually end the dominance of Intel in the microprocessing business.

Faster speed, cooler engine, cheaper chips are some issues that Intel, Qualcomm, and Nvidia have to contend on with AMD Ryzen. AMD has already provided snippets to its rivals on how fierce the competition will be when it showcased a record-breaking 40 percent improvement in instruction-per-clock (IPS) cycle without power boost. It effortlessly outclassed and outperformed the best of existing Intel CPUs in the market today.

AMD only controls 17 percent of the CPU market today after years of failed attempts in aspiring for the top spot. However, the current market and consumer response could change the fate of the Sunnyvale, California-based company. It has already reached a whopping 300 percent increase in price per share after the Ryzen's preview run.
