Add-In Board shipments are "seasonably" down, but AMD is catching back up with rival Nvidia.

blame the mid end segment Nvidia is missing/delays = GTX660TI/660/650Ti/650.

Just can't beat the value, they definitely outsell the Nvidias in the store i work at.

AMD out-sells Nvidias at the store at the store down the street from my house as well. The only exception is in the workstation market... not sure why, but I assume Nvidia has the lead thanks to CUDA.

It is good AMD has something to fall back on though. Their desktop CPUs are lack-luster at the moment, and their APUs, while a great product, are not exactly selling like the latest iPhone.

Their current Llano APUs are pretty decent for HD playback. So things like HTPCs do great here, but most don't need an HTPC and few don't really know what Llano is. However, I suspect that once the Trinity desktop hits, you'll find people building cheaper machines for entry-level gaming. I think that will catch on rather quickly. I know that if Trinity drops by Christmas, I'll try to build 2 machines for $800-900 as Christmas gifts. We'll see how that goes.

I blame the delays on the fact that Nvidia seems to be designing the entire "more powerful than 640" line-up with the GK104 GPU, waiting to stockpile more and more crippled chips to produce lower end models, instead of churning out different GPUs for different segments, like they used to, or like AMD at least

Their current Llano APUs are pretty decent for HD playback.

I just hope they bring out the "True" successor to the Brazos line-up, instead of the so called Brazos 2.0 that's nothing more than a higher clocked Zacate.

headline is misleading, I guess:

"In 2Q12, AMD actually increased its market share of the AIB sector to 40.3-percent. [...] During the last quarter, [...] AMD only retained 37.8-percent of the AIB market."
&
"Total AIB shipments decreased this quarter, from the previous quarter, by 6.5-percent to 14.8 million units."

Doing the math: AMD shipped 5.98 million units in Q1 and 5.96 million in Q2, that is a slight reduction.

Maybe Nvidia spent all their money on TWIMTBP and AMD knows they don't have to pay devs to help them out.

With APUs, its pretty pointless to buy an Intel without an addin board. Cunning market play AMD, they either buy your product or have a 30% chance to buy your other product.

It's also because AMD 7000 series easily oc 50% under water and 30-40% on air, but alas Nvidia fanboys still stumble down the hills to hell.

One guy, actually rec. someone getting a 680 when the poster's other choice within budget was a 7970 w/ water block.

DERP!

I like Nvidia, but I'm an over-clocker this gen AMD takes the cake on gpus. Intel takes the cake for water, and air but I guess if someone's using that extreme ish it's time to bulldoze clockspeeds.

People have their pref. like I do like ati just because they are/were Canadian but for example far as my knowledge goes the hd 2000 series was is, is probably the most horrible POS to ever hit the tech market ever.

I like AMD, but for anyone looking to spend some money srsly go intel and I didn't think it mattered b4 but w/ sb and IB giving 30+ more frames now at 1080p screw amd.
