Yep total shipments are way down for both, thus why the total market share matters here. I mean your own chart show Nvidia shipments dropping to their lowest point in 2023. I have the feeling margins are not great for graphic cards, even EVGA...

I love how some just throw things out like that, have any actual proof of said statement?

Yet reports are otherwise. Nvidia still dominates sales but AMD has taken some market share back...

AMD may have reduced their allotment to an unsustainable level. But unless the company comes out and tells us why, were just speculating and the title was clickbait as even in the article they had no answers.

There 2 main option, they can do like they did with Ampere Samsung 8nm for the gaming product, TSMC 7NM for the commercial product. They can do like what all the rumors seem to point out, launch the AI chips before the gaming product having a...

That is a ton smaller then the 47.5 billion they made on other products, like AI chips. What would you do when you are facing a capacity strained TSMC and need to pick a priority on what to produce?

Talk of new cards coming is probably going to make people hold off, plus the 4090 is still not a cheap card even used. Hopefully you find that person in need OP.

Higher thermal efficiency does not necessarily translate into a cleaner running engine. Just means it's turning more of the heat into useable power.

The super 4080's definitely sold, buy the regular 4080's never really sold well. But I just think the upcoming 5000 series will likely lack the performance to really push anyone to upgrade except the few that have to have the best, especially at...

I feel a 5080 priced over 1,000 bucks will be a dust collector for retailers, sort of like the current 4080. Honestly I was a bit surprised how well the 4090 sold, so that may still do well at a higher price. Profit is far more important to the...

Umm, no it's not. Link for graph https://fourweekmba.com/nvidia-revenue-by-segment/

I am a little less convinced they care about the consumer market as much right now, considering what their AI chips sell for at the moment. Will they give up on it, no. But I feel their focus is elsewhere and I think generational performance...

Seen no rumors that suggest that is happening. Could it, sure. But with no info stating major core changes then, I don't expect much from the next chip. If more info come to light then my thoughts may change.

You do know they didn't rely on a node shrink for that. That took a significant core design change.

I find that unlikely unless they do more then a small node shrink. You just are not getting the same gains out of the shrinking nodes. I would be surprised if they eek out much more then a 25% uplift, unless they are doing more then just relying...

The Geforce 256 was a great card for it's time, no doubt, but in what way could it possibly lay claim to being "the first gaming GPU"? Honestly, that's a pretty stupid statement. I had an Nvidia TNT2 Ultra prior to getting a Geforce 256, and...

Ok Linux compiling is not something many people do considering the market penetration for Linux is less than 5%. I also don't see someone comparing a 64 core threadripper vs a 16 core X3D chip for normal use. I had a 16 core chip and other than...

I find it funny when some want to argue the price the video cards are going for do not matter. When in reality it matters quite a bit as the prices are so high that most people are just not buying them. Then that even a rub for those that are...
