Survey: AMD CPUs preferred by 60% of Europeans

Okay, enough with the bickering, please. Stick to the thread topic.

Is there some more holistic quantification here, because according statista, AMD market share for x86 from Q1 '17 to Q2 '19 moved just 5%, intel did the same from Q1 '14 to Q4 '15; difference being that intel has maintained over 75% market share since Q2 '14, and over 70% well before then. AMD market share puts it back where it was in Q2 '15; thru Q2 '19 anyway. But even this is just another survey. So outside the practically anectodal , is there a significant market share shift based on hard data?

Well, funny enough OEM don't seem to care that much what their customers want..probably busy checking if the check has arrived.

- DIY is only a very small part of the market

Steam Hardware Survey also confirms that AMD is steadily taking market share away from Intel

Actually... the MOST profit comes from high-end products. Mark-up is generally far higher on those. Why do you think Threadripper costs so much?


Lol... I was stating that his ARGUMENT - "There is no rivalry in the discrete GPU market "
was correct... the reasons for it were heavy-handed, (I disagreed with that part), but I stand by the POINT - which you apparently are wilfully missing.

Before you continue trolling, answer the question: Does AMD actually rival Nvidia?

Yes profit margin is higher on higher end AMD CPUS and GPUs but the sales are there so they aren't that profitable. Vega has been a massive flop for them.

And that’s why Nvidia is wiping the floor with them... they can sell all their high end GPUs for pretty much whatever they please - if AMD can ever compete at the high end again, we might actually see a high end GPU under $1000 ...

Lol... While amstech might have been heavy-handed in his comment, there's really not much of an argument against it.

Can anyone explain why Nvidia has such a dominating market share while still arguing that the AMD cards are actually their equals (or superiors)?

The argument of "name recognition" doesn't hold water - otherwise why do they have such traction in the CPU market? Intel is a bigger company and name than Nvidia!

Ok let me explain this with some other questions...

Why do you think the Ubersaw is more used than the vita-saw in TF2 if its better for medics with bad luck?

Why do you think the m4a4 is more used than the m4a1-s in CSGO if the accuracy is better in the silenced version? (Btw both take 2 shots to kill someone with a headshot, I tested it)

Why do you think the sandvich is more used than the dalokoh’s bar when the dalokohs bar gives you overheal for a short amount of time?

Anyway, I only know one of my friends who bought a high end gpu at the time (gtx 1080) while most of my other friends have budget/mid range gpus (some even don’t have pcs and just stick with consoles)
