Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. shares closed up 3.27% on about 63 million shares traded on Friday.

These are the world's most powerful graphics on a desktop processor. The senior vice president and general manager, Computing and Graphics Business Group at AMD, Jim Anderson, remarked, "When we launched our first Ryzen processors a year ago, we began driving innovation and competition across the PC market. We remain dedicated to this mission throughout 2018, as we further strengthen our Ryzen portfolio by adding two leadership APUs designed to meet the varying needs of today's PC users."

Micron Technology, Inc. shares closed up 4.40% on almost 48 million shares traded on Monday. Though there was no specific news to move shares higher yesterday, it was last week that shares of Micron saw an 11% gain after two analysts on Tuesday upgraded the stock. KeyBanc and Needham & Co. were the two firms to give Micron Technology various forms of a "buy" recommendation. According to Needham, the stock could nearly double in value in the next year. It was last week that the company preannounced its fiscal second quarter 2018 earnings and said it expects $2.70 to $2.75 per diluted share this year with $7.2 to $7.35 billion in sales. Both numbers were higher than the company's guidance before. Analysts were expecting $7.02 billion in sales and $2.57 per share. Micron's revised forecast would be a 56% YOY sales growth at the midpoint range.
