Yes but we've seen that song and dance before, Pem. Nividia just has such an insanely strong amount of mindshare, that even when AMD were undercutting them, people still chose Nvidia regardless. AMD also sucks at playing the extremely long waiting game, in trying to undercut Nvidia for more than a few generations and in a row too. |
But when they were competitive price/performance wise, they took marketshare, they just never maintained that momentum.
For example... AMD's marketshare pretty much imploded when they kept rebadging the Radeon 7000 series to > 8000/R200/R300 series.
Some highlights of AMD's marketshare was the Radeon 9000 series, x850 series, x1950 series. - They dropped a ton of marketshare with the Radeon 2900 series, deservedly so. - Clawed some back with the Radeon 5000 series, deservedly so. - But then the 6000 series was just a refinement and didn't push boundaries...
Radeon 7000 series was tarnished due to frame pacing drivers and a focus on compute.
Radeon RX 6000 series is at an all time low because Ray Tracing, DLSS are overshadowing everything AMD has... Deservedly so.
But even when nVidia drops the ball with the 4000 series, AMD had the potential to release a very solid, much higher clocked 12GB-14GB-16GB Radeon 7600 and obliterate nVidia... But didn't.
So historically, when AMD releases a solid product lineup (I.E. Top to bottom stack), their marketshare increases, they just never kept that going for a second generation as nVidia's leaps (I.E. Maxwell) were significantly more impressive as of late.
