A Jon Peddie Research report for Q3 2014 was recently released and it showed Intel and NVIDIA total shipments going up over 10% compared to last quarter. AMD slipped 7% when comparing quarter-to-quarter. Whoa, what a bunch of numbers to kick us off on a Saturday. :D

The Gaming PC segment, where higher-end GPUs are used, was a bright spot in the market in Q3. Nvidia's new high-end Maxwell GPUs sales were strong, lifting the ASPs for the discrete GPU market. Q3 2014 saw a flattening in tablet sales from the first decline in sales last quarter. The CAGR for total PC graphics from 2014 to 2017 is up to almost 3%. We expect the total shipments of graphics chips in 2017 to be 510 million units. In 2013, 454 million GPUs were shipped and the forecast for 2014 is 468 million.

well Jon Peddie must have not calculated the mighty 390x effect, aka the nvidian-prius-destroyer, wherein nvidian owners en masse, dump their antiquated 970's in favor of the mighty and vastly superior 390x.
 
Think this could be because GPUs are no longer profitable for crypto mining thus lowering the demand for AMD video cards?
 
I don't think it's terribly surprising that Nvidia is up this quarter with new cards out, plus there's a large used market of R9 290 cards.

It's in everyone's interest that AMD stays competitive, unless you want Nvidia releasing smaller improvements every year that cost even more.

Haha, yeah. The only thing keeping amd numbers up the past years was gpu mining which is done now. Back down they go as the market corrects itself without that artificial buoy, to where they really belong with their poor company performance from marketing to products.
