No one can really say that AMD is doing well that all these days, but as long as its graphics business is concerned, things seem to be shaping the way the Sunnyvale-based company wants them. And this is mostly because for the first time in years, ATI, AMD subsidiary of graphics was able to make cards that can compete with NVIDIA GeForce cards. To think about it, the future Radeon cards will continue this new trend, only about inclusion and entry-level markets.
In RV770-based graphics card series we see today will soon receive several new additions that will be targeted at high-end users. Word in the industry is that the new card, based on RV710 and RV730 chips, which we said a few things in the past, will arrive at least two months before schedule. This ultimately means that AMD will gain greater market share from NVIDIA, if in Santa Clara-based chip manufacturer fails to release it new card, just in time.
In recent rumors AMD certainly put in a favorable light, especially after the Christmas holidays are drawing near, which means that AMD will gain a greater share of PIE - that is, from shopping frenzy around the holidays. But even so, while the new chips arrive, we can not say for sure whether they will be able to compete with NVIDIA current offer. In NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT is the only weapon against RV710, but the upcoming 9800GT can be made for this purpose.
In other news, rumors of a replacement for AMD HD 3000 series with the HD 4000 - branded cards are still gaining speed. According to the website of Fudzilla, AMD does not happen just to rename the old HD 3000 cards and will completely replace them with new RV710 chips and RV730. Apparently, AMD does not want to do the same as NVIDIA, which is known for releasing the re-branded versions of the GeForce 8, and 9 GeForce cards.
