Intel has lost all of its dedicated GPU market share

https://www.techspot.com/news/104848-intel-has-lost-all-dedicated-gpu-market-share.html

I think it became pretty clear once AMD outbid Intel for their next gen console hardware of choice along with Intel's current "we got no money" predicament... Battlemage is likely dead in the water and maybe even their GPU division. Even if they release Battlemage, it might be their last dGPU at this point.

Meanwhile Nvidia continues to dominate this gen as both AMD and Intel continue to shoot themselves in the foot. It's clear AMD made a lot of dumb moves this generation but who knows... Maybe next one they will be better instead of trying to be "Nvidia with a slight discount."

While AMD made several dumb moves, it's still a but sad that AMD doesn't do much better. Seems sometimes like people keep their grudges against AMD but forget any NVidia mishaps right away.

Especially the 7700XT/7800XT and 7900GRE are well-priced compared to the competition and should be selling much better than they do. At Mindfactory.de for instance the 7700XT (400€) is priced similarly to the 4060Ti 8GB (380€) while the 4060Ti 16GB(440€) is right between the 7700XT and the 7800XT (480€) in price. Meanwhile the downgraded 4070 models (535€) come in at at least 50€ more than the 7800XT, with the older models with GDDR6X memory (570€) are at least 90€ more than the 7800XT and thus priced comparatively to the 7900GRE. I don't feel like the better features are enough to justify such steep price markups for NVidia cards, especially on the 4060Ti models.
