South Korean GPU popularity market: 76% for NVIDIA, 21% for AMD and 3% for Intel

https://videocardz.com/newz/south-korean-gpu-popularity-market-76-for-nvidia-21-for-amd-and-3-for-intel

*Looks at Steam Survey...*

74% NVidia, 17.8% AMD and 7.9% Intel

AMD and especially Intel numbers are boosted by iGPUs/APUs, but it also shows how RDNA4 is well received as it sells above the Steam Market share despite those including APUs.

AMD Gutted By China GPU Ban – Posts Q2 Operating Loss

While it's an overall loss, gaming and client are up significantly. Datacenter needs more work but least it's up as well.

Intel’s CEO Lip-Bu Tan & His Ties With Chinese Firms Are Now Being Questioned By US Lawmakers, Saying That It Might Compromise US National Security

Remember that AMD's Gaming division includes consoles, and XS is dying while the PS5 is slowing down quite a bit, so GPUs do all the heavy lifting here. If GPU sales were flat, then the Gaming division would have been down YoY, so the increase is even more impressive than it looks at first glance. Really shows how well received RDNA4 is and how much NVidia fucked up Blackwell.

And poor Intel really can't catch a break. Plus their 18A node looks increasingly like Intel 10nm 2: Electric Boogaloo:

Only 10% Yield rate less than 6 months before the (paper-)launch is horrible to say the least. And while Intel denied the 10% figure, saying that "they're better", they didn't provide any numbers, so "better" could also just be 15% for instance...
