    JPR Releases New GPU Market Share Statistics

    While AMD is the front runner for consoles, I wouldn't count Nvidia or Intel out. Nvidia proved with the switch they are still around even with ARM cpus. And who knows what Intel has up their sleeves. I still think a discreet GPU can work in the console market.

    JPR Releases New GPU Market Share Statistics

    Guess the crypto bubble hit AMD even harder in 2018. We could use some fresh legs in this race. Any new companies out there who could enter the GPU market?

    SoftBank Dumped Its NVIDIA Stock
