AMD’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Graphics Business Unit Scott Herkelman Announces Departure

Going to Intel apparently. In a year or two it will be Nvidia vs Intel, and AMD will probably just give up. I can also imagine MS going with ARM for the next Xbox, so all they will have is Sony.
According to who? I haven't seen any proof from people who say he's going to Intel.
 
They weren't far off Nvidia's revenue in 2022. AMD holds a ton of patents which other manufacturers use.

I am not disputing that though :)

Not everything you disagree with is 'copium'. I know its an easy way to avoid the discussion, but try and do better.

Looks at your original reply, is that what you call a discussion is it? Lol

Still better than 'copium'. Either way, the real answer is because AMD makes much more money from CPUs than GPUs. They are higher margin, a better use of fab capacity. Gaming GPUs are pretty low margin in comparison. Even Nvidias balance of effort is switching into enterprise, AI and data centre products, away from gaming GPUs. They are the bottom of the priority list, and especially for AMD when they have 10% marketshare and consumers they have decided they prefer Nvidia.

Well that certainly is a much better answer. But saying what you guys initially said just comes of as copium to me personally :)
 
AMD had over 30% marketshare in GPUs when Herkelman started and now they have 17.5% so the guy was a failure.

Even when Nvidia launched its worse ever GPU lineup with ADA, AMD with RDNA3 only managed to gain 5.5% with 1.7% of that coming from intel and they only took 3.4% off Nvidia.

AMD gaining market share now that's a surprise maybe people are now voting with there wallet. I can see them gaining more if they price the 7700xt a bit lower and keep the pressure on the 4070 with the 7800xt. Guess we will see and yea Scott being the boss has to be seen as failing.
 
They should have decimated Nvidia after the launch of ADA though yet 5 in 6 are still buying Nvidia cards which shows they got their strategy completely wrong.

It's not just strategy for AMD to gain traction you have so many indoctrined in Nvidia so AMD will need something special to gain lots of share. AMD have decent offerings that i would buy over Nvidia due to price performance but for others there is just not enough price performance gap when you add in RT and DLSS if that's what you want. What AMD have gained must have been down to either heavy discounts on the 6 series or the aggressive pricing on the 7600/7900xt as the 7800xt/7700xt are not a factor yet. I would be surprised if they don't make further gains in q3
