where were you when amd boosted the entire graphics industry

Duh?
AMD can't make enough cards to fill the fucking miner demand.

and they manage to loose money in the process the apu share went down 22%
literally everyone went down yet somehow amd managed to make money out of the miners while the descrete gpu went also down

its like the eth was made specifically to run perfect only on amd cards (insert shifty meme face here)

AMD only keeps losing money because of their debt.

>>62077936
with 18% increase YoY i doubt its the debt
its their stupid decision to combine apu's with gpu's and cpu's with compute in general and that means also gpu's

AMD is directing new profits into debt and R&D, they said so during their analyst day.
Most importantly they increased r&d by 20% IIRC

I personally think that this is largely a pure marketing fuck up: normies don't know what an APU is. Outside of geek communities such as /g/, normie space pretty much grasps that there is a thing called a "CPU" and it needs a thing called a "graphics card," and many of them even know that a "GPU" is, like, related to "graphics card." Or something.

"APU" is an unknown, moonspeak acronym and a complete mystery as to what it is, does, and how to incorporate it into a system build/install. Quite literally, almost nobody knows that APUs exist or how to use them, or even why they might be important.

I've given up trying to explain to people that some motherboards come with connections for monitors because they use a CPU/APU thingie that doesn't need a graphics card. When they hear that installing a graphics card on a system like that disables the video ports on the motherboard, they get pretty pissed that they are paying for something that they can't use, or that it can't be upgraded.

The industry created a black magic dongle thingie with no explanation as to what it is and the vast majority of the target market ignores it because it's a mystery thingie with no definition or use. About the most that normies get out of it is that Apu is a character on The Simpsons and there is no connection that it is related to computers in any way.

APUs have been around for a long time. People including normalfags know exactly what one is by now.

Lmao what. No they don't
