News AMD Overtakes Nvidia in Overall GPU Shipments for the First Time in Five Years

[Veradun]

We should tell the whole story here.
Intel decided that NVIDIA's chip sets with integrated graphics were hurting their chip set sales too much. So they decided to not renew NVIDIA's X86 license .
This pretty much kicked them out of the Integrated market. So now their only choice is Discrete or Arm GPUs

It's actually never been an x86 license, it was a license to FSB. When Intel switched to the new DMI they were left with the short straw.

At that point they engineered that marketing stunt known as NF200, a fabulous chip able to deliver a true SLi experience giving 16 PCIe lanes to each of two video cards. In reality it was just a PLX and nothing was to be gained from having it, except for nvidia that could cash in on this SLi tax. Motherboard makers were extremely disappointed by this useless crap complicating their designs, and shortly after NF200 was replaced by a license fee for SLi support on mobos.

uh why do people count igpu as gpus?
they are more like display adapters
since intel have igpu in most of their consumer cpus it is not surprising that they are at the top on that list but that list is just so misleading

Because it's what they are, gpus. JPR also has figures about discrete graphics alone, but you need to get behind the paywall to get them 🙁

not a surprise. many of my friend upgrade they old intel PC (mostly core i3/i5/i7 2nd-4th gen to a ryzen processor. and most of them put radeon RX570 or RX580. and most of them satisfy. while me myself gonna stick to my 1070 from 2017 and for another few years. while turing is really tempting.. but ray tracing itself still on early stage. and the most important part... Turing is way overpriced for now... so nope nvidia. its a hard earn money. i'm stay with 1070
