AMD/ATI to grab 40% Market Share in Discrete Graphics in Q3, 2008
DigiTimes reports that with AMD's ATI Radeon HD 4800-series graphics cards successfully cutting into the US$200-300 mainstream market forcing Nvidia to cut the price of its previous generation GeForce 9800 GTX down to US$199, sources at graphics card makers see AMD's discrete graphics card market share as having a chance to increase to 40% in the third quarter this year from around 30% at the beginning of 2008.
Since Nvidia's GeForce 9800 GTX does not provide advantages in power consumption or performance over the same priced Radeon HD 4850, graphics card makers are more optimistic over AMD's upcoming performance.

Might have to pickup that new shiny x48 to do crossfire. If AMD pushes in CPU market, I can dust off my 790FX-DQ6 (although its in perfect condition).
Now that's some e-penis :eek:
This boost to their shares is just what the red camp needs to get out of the red and into some green.
