TECH NEWS – This leaves AMD (formerly ATI) and Intel with little chance of significantly changing the market situation…

AI company or consumer GPU company? What exactly is Nvidia? According to 3DCenter, “the greens” have dominated the graphics card market for two decades, and AMD doesn’t stand much of a chance. Nvidia has essentially been in the lead since the GeForce FX graphics cards, and we have seen this trend since 2002. It was a much tighter race in the beginning when ATI came out with the Radeon X1000. HDR rendering and CrossFire support at that time cut into Nvidia’s lead considerably, but since then the “greens” have been firmly in the lead (especially the GeForce 8000 series, released in November 2006, was an incredible step forward).

Nvidia has also cornered the crypto mining market, with periods of 80% market share. The RTX 3000 graphics cards were barely available at the time because of mining, and Nvidia made a killing on it (and that’s when they started jacking up prices to ridiculous levels), and they’ve been growing their market share ever since. Meanwhile, AMD is going back to the mainstream with the resurrection of the Radeon brand. Intel is also opening up to the mainstream audience, but they still have a lot of work to do to at least catch up to AMD.

From artificial intelligence to consumer graphics cards to robotics, Nvidia is in almost everything, and where it has emerged, it has fought its way to dominance. The Jensen Huang-led company will soon be in the same position as Apple, and the two companies really do share a common path in that CUDA technology is closed source, and for Apple, the closed ecosystem is a hallmark of the company.

When Nvidia releases the GeForce RTX 5000 cards (on the new Blackwell architecture instead of Ada Lovelace), it will likely continue to have the edge.
