If I am comparing Q3 2015 to Q3 2016, year to year growth, the fact that Polaris wasn't available in 2015 only demonstrates my point that Polaris contributed to the market share rise. Since Q3 2016 has AMD having a much larger share than they did in Q3 2015.
Yet smaller than in Q2 2016, when Polaris was not here. Do you get it?

They aren't registering a decrease that's for sure. And the sales have gone up. So it must be growth:
Sequentially they were, but GPU market as a whole grew over 20% since Q2.. So it's relative in a grand scheme of things. It's important to look at year-to-year particularly because Q3 and Q4 include back to school and xmas sales. Which is what year to year growth shows. Polaris grew AMD's marketshare year to year.

From AMD's Q3 2016 report.
Marketshare went up year to year. Thanks to Polaris. Fact.
Act silly all you want. But I am just telling you facts. Polaris is going to sell more GPUs than Tonga did in its lifetime as well.
My initial statement was correct too. Polaris grew AMD GPU marketshare (year to year). Which has more meaning since in case of Q3 and Q4 means they will sell more Polaris than Tonga.
Sequentially perhaps, but not year to year.
I don't follow this argument. Since Polaris wasn't available in Q2 2016 just like it wasn't available in Q3 2015. So the same logic would then apply to your side of the argument as well, no?
Nvidia dropped all their Pascal GPUs in Q3 (most when not counting 1080ti and Titan P perhaps, but those don't count when it comes to marketshare) .. of course AMD marketshare might register a dip due to Nvidia loyals upgrade cycles. This is to be expected. The point is Polaris did really well. And in fact registered a year to year marketshare growth. Year to year marketshare trends are really important, especially when talking about Q3 and Q4, since they are big quarters in terms of product sales.
But Polaris IS the reason why year to year marketshare in Q3 is up lol. Unless you're arguing that in Q3 AMD sold more r9 380s then they sold rx480s.
Notebook decrete shipments 23% and 34.7% desktop GPUs is all due to Polaris.
Q3 was up year to year.. lol
by 1.5% in the overal GPU market, which is huge:
Well you don't have to believe me, look at the source lol. The same source you're using. Apparently I can read it properly.
That's the last thing you are doing, come on now.
Notebook shipments are Polaris? Sorry, but that's wishful thinking.
What are they if not Polaris? It's certainly not Tonga.
Sorry dude you don't register a market share gain with leftover parts. That's all Polaris.
I thought I was in the AMD Financial Report thread. How about that marketsh-err-Zen peformance? "I'll tell ya what, AMD is gonna make IPC great again. It's gonna be amazing." Thanks for the laughs, guys. Keep it up, but don't poop it all out at once. We have a month or two at least, so try to slowly swirl it out. Merry Christmas.
Tonga? Try lower. Like Topaz and Oland low. These are the majority of AMD's GPU AIBs shipped in laptops this year. I would know, it was borderline impossible to get a laptop without this crap this year.
Merry Xmas, but AMD takes way too much time at this point, it starts to get boring. I mean, come on, we have had Blender demo in what, August? And it's year over already!
I took my screenshot a few weeks ago as anecdotal evidence.
You mean this JPR research?
Where AMD is up to 30% from last years 18%?
As long as Q4 results are above 18% I am right. And I am confident they will be.
