Nvidia's desktop GPU dominance grows to 88% as market returns to normal

Could you elaborate on how is this relevant to the main point of the article, which is that Nvidia has increased and AMD lost market share?

Q1 '23 to Q1 '24 AMD had the same market share: 12%.
Q1 '23 to Q1 '24 Nvidia increased their market share from 84 to 88%, by apparently taking Intel's 4%.

YoY is the most interesting stat as that shows how a company's products do at a similar time in the market, subsequent quarters are less informative as you are courting buyers in a different frame of mind. So AMD's expansion from Q1 to Q4 is not particularly informative just like their subsequent contraction the following quarter.
 
So, AMD GPU dept has fallen to irrelevancy in spite of AMD fanbois' sincere efforts herein and elsewhere/elsewhen to convince us otherwise.

Perhaps it is time for Lisa Su to come down on the AMD GP Dept hard and change some things as what they are doing is obv not working.

The Leatherman largely plays alone with no competition.

P.S.: In light of recent developments, I predict RTX 5090 MSRP to be at least $ 3K.

Which is not a good thing for us consumers. Nvidia's complete dominance, means they can take their sweet time releasing high end cards and increase prices even further than they already have.

The 4090 is already 3.4k to 3.6k here in Australia...
 
If Nvidia keeps raising the prices and AMD focuses on mid-range and lower end we might get two brands not competing against each other. Nvidia will control the high-end, AMD low-end and maybe only mi-range will be competitive.

I, for one, don't care about premium video game playing products, lmao. I hope Nvidia raises the prices to the heavens since they don't need gamers anyway.

You do know that without competition the prices will rise more?

Now Techspot says Desktop GPU equals Discrete GPU 🤦‍♂️

What a clickbait BS once again.
 
So AMD sold about 40% more GPUs in Q1 this year than last year.
And Nvidia sold about 46% more GPUs in Q1 this year than last year.

Which is why I love reading people's superficial, antagonistic posts because in today's world what really matters is spin.
Not quite. AMD's quarter-to-quarter AIB sales decreased 41%, whereas Intel's quarter-to-quarter sales increased 0.9%.

Averaged over a full year, your figures are correct (though AMD actually should be 39%, not 40%).

 
Play the message not the person.

You have just attacked the person without supplying any alternative perspective. What part if the message are you disagreeing with? Why? What is your source?
So what you're saying is you haven't seen any of AMDs? About AMD ditching RDNA together? How the 8000 series is just a fix of the MCU issue that plagued the 7000 series?
 
Shipments =/= Sales

Nvidia did the same thing before launching the 4000 series. They want to get rid of the old stuff because the new stuff is coming...

You guys, sometimes... I really wonder if you have an once of critical judgement or only regurgitating the narrative of the industry.
 
It is funny to see the clowns here praising that AMD can't compete when the second fastest gaming GPU on the market is the 7900XTX.

You can OC the thing close to a 4090, about 15% slower while costing half.
 
Intel realized his position in dGPU market and priced accordingly, with low margins, no margins or at a loss.

AMD is stil dreaming at pricing close to Nvidia, but with a subpar product that need 9 months to develop a driver after launch. I'm talkin about FSR3.
AMD doesn't care about dGPU anymore when they can sell the same semi for 15 000$ for the enterprise.

You guys are G4Hmers, and are unable to see the big picture.

As for upscalling, which upscalling method was implemented with DSR? Ah yeah... this one... the one available on consoles...

Those aren't averaged for the year, they're just individual quarters. Again, quarter-to-quarter numbers are less interesting as AMD increasing market share 58% from Q1 to Q4 is not informative as the market conditions are more variable, while them retaining 12% in the same quarter YoY as the market expands by 39%, very much is.

And yes that should be 39% for AMD as I was using the data in the chart provided here, but they have more precise numbers in the original article which I hadn't reviewed yet in my original post.
 
AMD falls back to last year's 12 percent, Intel nearly disappears from the map
I don't know where those numbers come from but I call BS. So far this year I have built or upgraded about 250 PCs. The split between Geforce, Radeon and Arc has been 50% Geforce, 25% Radeon and 25% ARC.

While I'm willing to accept that where I'm at might be different from the world-wide industry averages, I'm not willing to accept that those numbers are THAT much different. I smell a rat wallowing in poo somewhere.

I have been an AMD avid buyer since Am386 era and insist to only buy AMD ever if I could afford to. Why? Because I insist to keep the competition alive and that's it, however strange it sounds.
Just yesterday though I was forced to buy an RTX card to replace my old Radeon RX570. I am sorry AMD but please improve your card with the latest technology and features. Mind you, many of us are not only gaming, means raster performance is not all of the decision making aspect. I hope you are listening.

Outside gaming, what are those "missing" features?
