AMD Expected to Reach 40% GPU Market Share in 6 Months

Recently, AMD launched its new Radeon R9 290X graphics card that has left many of us quite amazed. Following the launch, Nvidia struck back with some price drops, but that hasn't stopped analysts from coming up with a rather impressive figure. While it is known that analysts are often rather conservative about AMD's performance, there are a couple who have predicted that AMD will reach a 40 percent market share in graphics cards over the next six months.

AMD had announced that it has managed to make a net profit of $48 million over Q3 2013. This even accounts for drops in notebook-related sales and reduced GPU sales. According to the report from DigiTimes, the reason AMD managed to make a profit is due to sales from customized products and stable desktop sales.

You mean they are below 40% now? Thats kind of sad considering all the laptops they shoved out in categories Nvidia doesn't even get its hands dirty in. I would figure they have at least 40% of the mid to high end dedicated GPU market.

Said that there has been a drop in notebook and GPU related sales.

Very strange? You would think they already had at least 40% of the gpu market. Do these analysts even know what a gpu is?

Wonder if they are counting the console market as practically every console is now powered by some form of AMD gpu...
