Why Nvidia May Have a Reason to Fear AMD

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) has usually played second fiddle to Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) in the market for discrete graphics cards, but it looks like it could gain an upper hand over its bigger rival in this lucrative space one day.

Nvidia controlled 83% of the discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) market in the second quarter of 2021, increasing its dominance to the detriment of AMD, which held the rest of the market. However, third-party reports indicate that AMD has started turning the tide thanks to its accessible pricing and the shortage of Nvidia graphics cards. Let's see why this could be a big deal for AMD.
