Its funny but Nvidia stock is at a 1 year high and latest revenue numbers are record breaking for the company.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2014/11/07/nvidia-reports-a-record-q315-continued-growth-in-pc-gaming-automotives-large-scale-data-centers/

Yet AMD which has 100% of console GPU and CPU marketshare (wii U excluded but come on) is sucking on Intel and Nvidia's dust on both markets  on the revenue side. 


Just a little joke ;) . Console GPUs won't help a lot on revenue. They will be sold at a contract with mass price and low profit margin, while a desktop GPU is sold standalone for a bigger margin. My point here is that NVidia only started to do this kind of statements after they lost the console contracts. I wonder if the Tegra SoCs stopped being manufactured we wouldn't be seeing some statements about the end of the mobile golden age.

AMD issue is that they have a low margin marketshare (consoles) and 0% mobile share. The higher percentage of laptops on the PC market isn't helping them because Intel dominates and the percentage of devices with dedicated graphics is lower here. They only have a good position on the desktop PC market, but even here I think NVidia can keep the pressure with their tech. In the GPGPU side, Nvidia completely slaughters AMD thanks to CUDA, it's not even a contest.

That is just flat out false.  CUDA is dying off thanks to OpenCL (Which AMD is FAR better at).  That is why Apple is slowily transitioning to pretty much all AMD graphics.
