| JEMC said: A new study has been made public detailing the GPU market share as of this quarter, among other things, and things look really bad for AMD http://jonpeddie.com/press-releases/details/add-in-board-market-decreased-in-q215
To AMD: That's what happens for leaving the 9x0 series without proper competition for half a year, and then launch mostly rebranded cards. |
AMD had to concentrate both their development ressources and their money on their new upcoming CPU Design since the last year, which is why GCN only gets incremental upgrades and rebrands right now. With the shrink to 14/16nm and the first tape-outs coming from Zen and Arctic Islands the focus should now gradually shift back to the graphics division.
The R9 Nano and Fury could boost sales up again, but I doubt they will get above 25% again before the release of the Rx 400 Series (Arctic Islands)
