    NVIDIA Loses a bit, AMD Gains a bit Discrete GPU Market Share in Q4 2015 – Radeon Share Now at 21.1%, NVIDIA Still Leads With 78.8% Share

    NVIDIA and AMD GPU market shares for the fourth quarter of 2016 have been posted by Jon Peddie Research. Just a few days ago, the publication posted the overall market shipments in the GPU business which saw a tiny 2.4% increase compared to the last quarter due to a sluggish PC market at the current moment and the other the fact that next-gen, FinFET based GPUs are on the verge of arrival hence in their anticipation, most users are holding off their purchases.

    AMD and NVIDIA GPU Market Share Q4 2015 Results – Radeon Grows, GeForce Declines

    The discrete graphics market GPU includes two major vendors, AMD and NVIDIA. 2015 in general saw total of 50 million AIBs (Add in boards) being sold compared to 44 million in 2014. Out of the total 50 million AIBs sold, 5.9 million AIBs are reported to be enthusiast level products which represents $299 US+ graphics cards. Figure of 5.9 million enthusiast level cards is quite an astonishing increase from 2014 which reported only halve the sales of enthusiast level cards compared to 2015 (5.9 million vs 2.9 million). This clearly shows that the Gaming PCs market is moving rapidly towards high-end and enthusiast level cards which offer superb performance in AAA titles on the highest resolutions and settings possible.
    Hardware such as the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and Radeon R9 Fury X has really proved that price is not a matter for PC gamers if the hardware they use offers great gaming performance and the AAA titles leverage by using the new graphics features incorporated in the current and next generation of graphics cards. Regardless of the PC market, the PC Gaming and DIY market remains strong as ever which has led AMD and NVIDIA to see increased shipments even with current generation hardware that was introduced in early 2015. The holiday season deals, price cuts and gaming bundles did really entice gamers to by GCN and Maxwell powered cards.

    AMD Market Share Rises to 21.1% in Q4 2015 From 18.8% in Previous Quarter

    Coming to the exact market share figures, Q4 2015 saw AMD gaining quite a bit market share compared to previous quarters. Their market share rose to 21.1% compared to 18.8% in the previous quarter which was mainly driven by aggressive price cuts on their Radeon R9 Fury and Radeon R9 Nano graphics cards. Holiday season deals also made up for a good increase in their Radeon R9 390X and R9 390 user base.

    The desktop discrete Radeon graphics cards saw a 6.69% increase in shipments from previous quarter due to the highly competitive price cuts for their cards in the holiday season along with improved driver support in the form of Radeon Software Crimson drivers. AMD’s notebook discrete GPU shipments witnessed another major blow in Q4 as they didn’t introduce any new mobility Radeon graphics card for the platform leading to a 1.3% decline in shipments.
    NVIDIA Loses Desktop Discrete Market Share in Q4 2015 – Share Declines To 78.8% But Still in Lead

    In the GPU shipment report, NVIDIA’s shipments for discrete GPUs fell 7.56% compared to the Q3 2015. NVIDIA had captured a good chunk of discrete GPU market with their GPUs on the desktop front so their shipments are expected to fall as demand lowers. On the notebook side, NVIDIA launched a couple of new chips along with the industry’s fastest mobility GPU, the GeForce GTX 980. These new Maxwell powered chips led to the total notebook discrete GPU shipments to see a rise of 34.2%.

    NVIDIA’s market share peaked out in Q3 2015 by bagging 81.1% of the discrete / AIB market but it fell down to 78.8% in Q4 2015 since AMD managed to snatch away some of their share. It’s highly likely that users utilizing the older Kepler based cards which still amounts to a large NVIDIA user base upgraded to Radeon cards due to better price to performance ratio set by AMD. Overall, NVIDIA’s GPU shipments for Q4 2015 were reported 8.4% higher than the previous quarter.
    Talking about the industry as a whole, the total AIBs shipments decreased 4.9% compared to previous quarter and 7.9% compared to previous year. In 2013, AIBs managed to ship a total of 65 million discrete graphics cards while the peak was reported back in 1999 when the industry shipped 114 million units. 50 million shipments is still a good figure considering that the industry has been stuck with an older (28nm) process for a while and the FinFET based solutions are being eyed at by gamers that will launch in mid of 2016. Expect both GPU makers (AMD and NVIDIA) to report vast increase in shipments later this year when Pascal and Polaris hit the market shelves in full swing.

    AMD Earnings Call Suggests New Consoles Are Coming in 2016


    Even though the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are less than three years old, there’s numerous reports which indicates both console manufacturers could release refreshed models with a higher specification. This is unprecedented for the console industry as the usual business strategy revolves around long hardware lifecycles and encouraging developers to eke out every last inch of performance through optimization. Saying that, the situation in 2016 is quite different due to the rise of mobile and impressive profitability on the PC platform. Furthermore, the current consoles are technically outdated and struggle to maintain 30 frames-per-second at 1920×1080. There’s even been instances where the resolution has been reduced to 720P on the Xbox One which really does showcase the performance problems.
    Arguably, Sony is creating a much more powerful version of the PlayStation 4 to coincide with the launch of PlayStation VR. Virtual reality requires a great deal of processing power and the current model will struggle to offer a pleasant user-experience. According to information acquired by Go Nintendo, AMD’s earning call predicts future hardware launches this year and reads:
    “In our EESC segment, we had record shipments of our semi-custom SoCs powering the Playstation 4 and Xbox One game consoles,”
    “Demand for game consoles looks strong for 2016 and we remain on track to generate additional revenue from new semi-custom business in the second half of 2016.
    “Game consoles – we see units going up 2016 to 2015. We’ve also said in the enterprise embedded and semi-custom segment that we will be ramping some new design revenue in the second half of 2016. We have new products being introduced in both the businesses with the new design wins in the second half on the semi-custom side.”
    It’s important to remember that this might not be a new Xbox or PlayStation 4, and could refer to Nintendo’s upcoming console, the NX. Whatever the case, I cannot wait to see the announcements during this year and look forward to testing new hardware. Also, if these reports are true, I’m eager to know how console players will react.

    Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ: AMD) Acquires Software Company ‘HiAlgo’ – Pushes Forward On Streamlining Software Side Of Gaming Technology

    Radeon drivers have come a really long way from the mess they once used to be. There was a time when the company was known for its bad drivers; fast forward a few years, and we can now safely say the opposite. With the recent RTG philosophy trickling down to grass root levels we have seen AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) software reach a whole new dimension of polish and artisan-like characteristics in terms of the GUI and interface design. In what appears to be an attempt to take it to an even higher level, AMD has acquired HiAlgo, a software house which will synergize with its existing RTG philosophy and work on the software side of things.

    AMD buys HiAlgo software house – increases focus on the software side of a gaming experience

    Not much is known about what AMD plans to do in the long run but this is very clearly a statement of fact that the company is taking software very seriously. We also, at this point in time, do not know the exact details of the deal and how much the company paid to acquire HiAlgo. It has recently launched the WattMan app and the crimson drivers speak for themselves. AMD is aiming to not only be an independent hardware vendor (IHV) but also a software house that will compliment its Radeon brand with software features exclusive for its customers.
    Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ: AMD) Shares Drop 8% With Sharp Increase In Traded Volume




    The following is the official press release form AMD (NASDAQ: AMD):
    AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the acquisition of software company HiAlgo Inc., a developer of unique PC gaming technologies designed to help Radeon™ RX Series GPUs transform gaming experience, increase GPU efficiency and improve the overall consistency of gaming experiences. The acquisition lays the groundwork for future gaming innovation in Radeon Software that will benefit owners of Radeon™ RX Series GPUs.
    “Software is an integral part of advancing the science of graphics, enabling us to best harness the silicon of the GPU to
    maximize performance and deliver outstanding experiences in games and applications,” said Raja Koduri, senior vice president and chief architect, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD. “HiAlgo embodies our spirit of passion, persistence and play by delivering a number of creative approaches to software that improve gamers’ experiences, and helps future-proof1 the GPU.”
    Radeon Software enables the ultimate in performance, features and stability of Radeon™ graphics to ensure an exceptional user experience. Today, launching alongside the Radeon™ RX 480 graphics card are nine new features of Radeon Software Crimson Edition designed to give users more control over their computing experience, including multi-GPU, display, and power efficiency settings, and a redefined overclocking tool in Radeon WattMan.2
    Advertisements

    Forward looking commentary:

    AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) has been pretty active in the corporate side of things lately, this acquisition comes just a few months after their they announced their joint venture with the Chinese company THATIC (Tianjin Haiguang Advanced Technology Investment Co., Ltd.) which shows that the company is making several attempts to broaden its portfolio and turn the company around once and for all. AMD licensed high-performance processor and SoC technology to a newly-created JV it has formed with THATIC (Tianjin Haiguang Advanced Technology Investment Co., Ltd.) to develop SoCs tailored to the Chinese server market that will complement AMD’s own offerings. The $293 million licensing agreement is a meaningful step in AMD’s IP monetization strategy intended to accelerate the Company’s growth and better monetize its valuable assets.
    “Our new licensing agreement is a great example of leveraging our strong IP portfolio to accelerate the adoption of our technologies more broadly,” said Dr. Su. “The joint venture with THATIC provides AMD with a differentiated approach to help gain share in the fastest growing region of the server market.”
    One caveat in this is the fact that payments will be dependent on certain milestones being achieved. Things have started to look good for AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) this year and the stock price has reflected this in the past few months. The introduction of Zen will however, be the first test the company must pass. Everything depends on the good reception of Zen, the silicon valley giant has too much invested in it for it not to succeed. Of course, AMD is currently under a mountain of debt (total debt at the end of the quarter was over $2 billion, flat from the prior quarter) with a hefty chunk of that due in 2019 as you can see below so it still has a long way to go before it is out of treacherous waters.
    AMD’s current debt structure…

    AMD recently released the RX 480 as well and while that wasn’t able to offer any competition to FinFET products from Nvidia it was supposed to target a new price point for mainstream gaming. Interestingly however, Nividia has decided to push forward their GTX 1060 GPU which will compete directly with the RX 480 in its category – competing for the price point that was supposed to be AMD’s jewel in the crown. Another thorn in an otherwise perfect launch is allegations of the RX 480 failing to meet PCI-E specifications. We will be covering this particular incident in a separate post later today.
