AMD MarketShare back to 30%

The only difference is FUD don't say what the overall share is, which is 29.4%.

Which is strange, as this thread's title says 30%. What an odd rounding method. If we're just rounding to the nearest 10%, then AMD's "MarketShare" has been 30% ever since it hit 25%! ;)

OP, you don't happen to be affiliated with AMD in any way, do you?
 
It's hardly surprising there share of the market is up.

They are dominating the mid range. 390>970 and cheaper. 390x>980 and cheaper.

And yet.... the 970 is the best selling card by far on the market.

so... just to recap... The 390 is faster than the 970, it's cheaper than the 970...and yet the 970 is the best selling card.

No wonder we are getting mugged off with Nvidias new pricing. We deserve it for being a bunch of total morons!
 
Nvidias marketshare will drop of a cliff when Polaris comes out, so they'll need to get their competitors out quick smart, or be them sitting on 18%! :D

And now people who only got up to £200 to spend that would only considering buying Nvidia would think they are buying the "1060 3GB" but in fact getting a "1050/1050Ti 3GB" :p
 
Good stuff! we need AMD to get back in the game really. Got to admit though the releases thus far have been far from impressive. Even on the nVidia side thought tbf the nvidia releases just need bit of a price drop then its not so bad.


Disclaimer - before anyone says it...

*IDC about inflation and pound getting weak, no way in hell does that account for the massive increase we are paying compared to last gen and even america.*
 
Again very misleading "market share" figures as they are unit sales figures not market value figures, which is the only true way of comparing company performance.

22.7% of desktop unit sales isn't particularly good when you consider the average value of the units are likely to be significant lower than Nvidia's average unit value. So a real market share in £$ is likely to much lower and that's what counts.

We don't know how much it costs to produce an AMD gpu compared to an Nvidia one but I'd hazard a guess 1080 costs more to make than an rx480.

Shouldn't matter anyway. If AMD's market share keeps going up, prices will generally come down from both parties from competition.

Comparing sales performance to Nvidia is pretty pointless and irrelevant, AMD have about 8,000 staff compared with Nvidia about 15,000.

What AMD need to concentrate on is selling Polaris and Vega GPU's and Zen CPU's in numbers to keep their balance sheet healthy.

Engaging in market share wars with Nvidia just as with Intel will do them more harm than good.
 
So because one company has more staff than the other, it's pointless and irrelevant to compare performance..etc? Odd thing to say tbh.

Whichever way you want to spin it, an increase in market share is good news for AMD. I also believe it's good for the industry as a whole and for consumers.

He seems to be thinking it is at 22% when the latest figures say 30% for desktop and 34% overall.

Also,the fact that the figures will be for the first six months too,when Polaris wasn't available too. A bit more competition is a good thing,since if AMD does better they can sink more resources back into products too.

The problem with those figures is it may not be an increase in market share. It could be a decrease. Comparing Unit sales figures for products with wildly different price points is a complete waste of time.

We don't compare supermarket market share based on the number of items they sell for the same reason. It based on value of sales, the is what matters.

Talk about missing the point, the figures I refereed to was the OPs, but your figures of 29.9% market share are again still misleading as it's unit sales not market value. Again we don't know their true market share from these figures.

They tell us nothing about the resources AMD are gaining. That 7.3% increase could be a decrease in both unit sale and value sales for all we know as the market may have slowed down for both companies with the next gen due in the next Quarter.

If AMD has increase it's market share it good, but we can't tell from these poor stats.

I wouldn't be surprised to see around 45% share to amd in 1H or 2H 2017.

I don't think that's going to happen. Vega is only coming 1H 2017, and Polaris alone won't push them that high.

Fiji based cards are no longer being made and already nearly out of stock everywhere, and it's the same with Grenada.

Without a higher tier product they'll most likely saturate the lower and mid range within that time, while the upper range is left untouched.
