This is a small thesis I wrote. I have formatted it so that it will fit on the forum, since I didn't write it specifically for this forum.

Amd has been doing well lately with their stock. It rocketed up to $50 per share earlier last week, before dropping back down again to Earth. But will AMD keep its rising form going?

Yes, I do believe so, and here’s why.

Some people have doubts about how AMD’s stock will hold up. But the company just launched their 3990X, which is their “halo CPU” and is a great showing of what the brand can accomplish. That CPU is the entire base for AMD’s brand-building exercise. Which is why, at $3,990 US dollars, is why very few will buy it. But I’m getting off track here. All of the fast Threadripper CPUs are made so that possible investors for the future will pour money into the company, since those products are made to show what can come for the future. Linus Tech Tips made a review on the 3990X, and it proved that AMD is and will be in the game for a long time to come. It shredded the Mac Pro, and only the five-figure Xeon server processors can even only get somewhat close to the power of the Threadripper flagship.

Also, Intel is discouraged. Even though they are testing their “GPUs that boost integrated graphics systems”, those are made for offices and other basic applications that certainly do not include gaming on their agenda. Plus, the 10980XE was dead on arrival by the Ryzen 9 3950X and even the 3900X. Intel knows they need some time off the enthusiast market to come up with something revolutionary, not evolutionary. So it seems to me that Intel will lay low and look for options in the budget/office sector.

Does this mean that Intel will never do gaming CPUs like they once did? Not at all. They are bound to make a comeback, and AMD could even fall behind. But the future looks to see that that future will be unlikely. AMD is still winning.

Explanation part should be in their own paragraphs, not in the thesis statement nor all into one paragraph
Xeons and TR are not comparable in price, so "five-figure" means nothing
Intel GPUs could see further uses, we just don't know yet. Also not like any of these CPUs have any iGPU in them nor did you talk about AMD's GPUs, so you might as well omit them entirely
Did not explain why 10980XE is irrelevant, e.g. mostly the same as the 7980X
Intel still has support and stability advantage over Ryzen and especially Radeon

Who cares about any of it? I will always buy what's best for the specific amount of $ that I want to spend, regardless of brand. For 10 years, the best was always Intel. Now it's AMD and it will continue to be AMD for the foreseeable future. Am I shedding a tear for Intel? No, I'm not. Just like I didn't cry at all for Bulldozer , Vishera or Opteron. It is "ME" who matters, not some tech company.

....Okay, well to be honest, it's not like I wrote it as an assignment. I did it in my spare time.

Not something I would call "thesis". More like opinion piece or even column. Also, formatting needs some work. Like use normal font/size and better switch between paragraphs.
