AMD Gains 4.8% Market Share In Q1 2016

Quote

For the last nine months, AMD has brought a singular focus back to GPUs through the Radeon Technologies Group. During that time, the company has made significant investments in hardware, marketing, and software for the graphics lineup leading to four straight quarters of market share growth.

 

According to Mercury Research, AMD gained three points of unit volume share in Q1 2016. The recent issuance of both Mercury Research and Jon Peddie Research market share data for Q2 2016 has confirmed AMD has posted the fourth consecutive quarter of desktop discrete GPU share growth, driven by AMD’s strongest quarter of channel GPU sales since 2015 and the commencement of shipping of the next generation Polaris GPUs.

 

In total discrete graphics, AMD gained 4.8 share points to 34.2% of market by unit volume (based on Mercury Research). In desktop discrete, a subset of total discrete, AMD saw a 7.3 share point increase, rising to 29.9% market share. This is another positive testament AMD’s strategy is working as the company drives forward towards "Vega" offerings for the enthusiast GPU market, which AMD expects to bring to market in 2017 to complement our current generation of "Polaris" products.

 

AMD believes it is well positioned to continue this trend in market share gains with the recently launched Radeon RX 480, 470, and 460 GPUs that bring leadership performance and features to the nearly 85% of enthusiasts who buy a GPU priced between $100 and $300.

30% pc marketshare and 34 % overall. not bad... not that long ago they were at 18% pc marketshare. good job i guess

[Mr.Meerkat]

If they can get 40% market share then they're finally in a good situation...they reallllllllyyyyyyy need that money pronto else ello new AMD (which is owned by Microsoft/google/Apple/whoever else that might buy them out).

Umm so this has nothing to do with current strategies then as the quote claims since polaris didn't exist then

Most beneficial way for AMD to be bought out is to have it go bankrupt and have RTG go to Intel and the CPU division to Nvidia, as both companies are bitter rivals, and both are consumer and enterprise facing while also having the complementary skills and IP. They'd be in direct competition on both fronts rather quickly.

Well, it finally happened good for them hopefully they actually keep it up rather than sinking back down, though if zen is decently priced or spec then they should stay in the black for a while.

according to the Microsoft money app(don't know where else to look and couldn't find anything on the Nasdaq website) they are still in the red by about 300 million loss

Is this the source?

Q2 is normally the second weakest quarter, so they're in a good position now.

Their stock is skyrocketing and so re their market shares (on the cpu front it should go up as well (could it even sink lower anyway?)), so being in the red is maybe temporary AND they can face that with new investors!

Actually I got some data from the horse mouth and it shows a loss for the year thus far it seems Q2 was up though

Spoiler

 

[zMeul]

I dunno where those people got their data, but AMD did not gain 4.8% market share in Q1 2016

 

here's the actual data from Mercury Research:

• Q4 2015: http://www.mercuryresearch.com/graphics-pr-2016-q1.pdf
• Q1 2016: http://www.mercuryresearch.com/graphics-pr-2016-q2.pdf

in fact, AMD and nVidia, both lost market share in favor of Intel

 

someone is fudging the numbers

Well that's wccftech for ya

I would've agreed, but the source is not WCCFShit

 

since the wording in both articles is similar, I'd wager it's a source from AMD

Huh well then, I think I'm just used to Mr_Troll always having wccftech articles oh well
