Nvidia and AMD battle for gaming segment
Nvidia’s Gaming segment revenue takes into account revenue from PC GPUs, Nintendo Switch hardware, and the GeForce Now game streaming service. Together, these businesses generated $1,831 million in the most recent quarter. Unfortunately for Nvidia, this revenue is down 46% year-over-year.

Yes, gaming revenue declined, but there was a bright spot in the data center for Nvidia investors. Data center revenue increased 11% over the year. This is a good achievement in a recession. In addition, the data center segment includes AI accelerators, a very hot trend in all things AI at the moment.
2023 will see more action for PC GPUs by Nvidia, so it could grab even more share of the PC market, especially when mainstream cards start to become available (hopefully at mainstream prices). higher. In terms of total gaming segment revenue, AMD may continue to enjoy support from very strong demand for Sony and Microsoft’s consoles, but there aren’t many indications about the launch of his RDNA 3 graphics card product in the mainstream. .
