At the technology conference Raymond James Financial Officer AMD Devinder Kumar expressed solidarity with the experts of Jon Peddie Research, which recognized the company for a small victory in a segment graphics solutions: the transition from the second to the third quarter, AMD managed to increase its market share by 0.8 percentage points. Of course, the resulting 18.8% of the graphics market - this is not last year's 28.4%.
Revenue in the graphic at the direction of AMD for the first time in two years has grown at the transition from the third quarter to the fourth, according to Chief Financial Officer. The results of the fourth quarter should not disturb this trend, he said. Moreover, next year, AMD will continue to strengthen its position in the graphics market. New graphics card occupying the niche of "budget" to "enthusiast", should become a driving force in this process. However, in this case we are talking about that already have products been presented and sold.
In the market of professional graphics solutions from AMD it takes about 20%. The capacity of the market, the company estimates at $ 1.2 billion.
Interestingly, the head of the "graphic" business Coduri AMD Raja has a good motivation to strengthen its influence on the world market. He believes that AMD should in some way be involved in the generation of 90% of the pixels around the world used in the segment of computer graphics. Devinder Kumar called such goal very ambitious, but admitted that the role of computer graphics in the modern world is increasing.
