AMD is shooting for 50 per cent graphics market share says CEO

Good luck with that AMD, I hope they do release a card to compete with the 1070 and possibly 1080

Adoredtv did a great video on the issues with amds market share.

Yep watched it and was saddened by just how far behind they are, especially where earnings are concerned.

I do believe NV will go back into mobile once gaming is more relevant there and everyone is using mobile as an extra gaming device hooked to a tv over hdmi etc.

They are good chips, but, no chance.

The phone and tablet markets are owned by Samsung and Apple, who both have their own CPUs and no need for Nvidia.

As someone who owned a Tegra 3 based phone, I can see why. It was great for keeping your hands warm in winter. It missed abysmally in power budget, so the companies who tried to use it were hurt by it, and now don't trust Nvidia.

Look at the recent Nvidia design wins, erm, shield and shield console? They have to make devices themselves as no-one else will touch their silicon.

My wife has a Tegra based Chromebook, and in that it is superb. The chassis can easily soak up the heat, it feels very responsive as it doesn't thermally throttle. Why are there not more Tegra designs for Chromebooks? I guess because they don't sell, and companies won't touch Nvidia with a barge pole.

Shield 2? I think the technology is now "Nintendo Switch". Again that seems like a laptop class device so a good fit, but it is firmly the low margin "console crap" that you say Nvidia isn't chasing which is odd when Nvidia themselves make Shield tablets and consoles of which I know precisely zero people who have bought one.

As Intel integrate an ever improved low end GPU onto their CPUs, and Nvidia banned from so much as emulating an x86 in software, Nvidia are desperate to diversify away from the shrinking discrete GPU market. Nvidia have successfully pushed their GPUs into stellar pricing but I can see a backlash already.
