AMD VS NVIDIA (discrete) high-end GPU marketshare 2018 q2

NVIDIA GPUs up, AMD down | Market Share in Q2 2018 | GeForce RTX and Q4 2018

While we saw AMD take away a large chunk of GPU market share in Q1 and the stocks were skyrocketing, strong sales of GeForce 10 graphics cards resulted in NVIDIA’s share going up like to the Q2 2017. Quarter to quarter graphics board shipments decreased by 20.8% and a 5.7% decrease (YOY).

NVIDIA’s GPU share went up from 65.1% to 69.1% in Q2 2018 (69.7% in Q1 2017). Again, the GeForce 10 series being available at moderate prices was the main reason for the growth in market share and the strong Max-Q lineup which is offered in refreshed laptops, featuring Intel’s latest 8th Generation processors for high-performance, portable gaming. AMD, on the other hand, saw a decline from 34.9% to 30.9% in Q2 2018 (30.3% in Q2 2017). AMD still relies on their older Radeon RX 500 series mainstream graphics cards which make up the bulk of their sub $400 US series while the RX Vega 64 and 56 graphics cards aim the high end with price suggested over the $499 US segment. AMD also announced to ship discrete Vega graphics cards in laptops but we haven’t seen any major OEM release a particular product based on those yet. AMD does have a lot of Vega GPUs integrated on their Raven Ridge APUs but those are not discrete level chips and hence do not amount for market share in this report.
