okay so today we're gonna talk about AMD and their struggled to be number one and why that struggle is such an uphill battle for them but real quick let's check out a word from today's sponsor 0 & 9 if you're the type of person who builds a lot of PC's or just changes the parts out inside their PC quite a bit having an extra Windows 10 Pro key can be a lifesaver especially if something happens and all of a sudden your registration isn't working and right now at 0 & 9 they have Windows 10 Pro for sixteen dollars now this is like 84 percent off but with a coupon code that we're gonna share with you you'll be able to get the same code for thirteen dollars that's right Windows 10 Pro for thirteen dollars we'll have a link down below where you guys can check us out on their website and one thing that's really cool is you can buy as many keys as you want so I know that there's some AMD fans out there will probably get mad at this video just be like no Elric but everything I'm gonna be telling you guys today is absolutely no bullcrap it's completely true everything I'm saying is just the facts and that's all they are they're not my opinions really they're just really the way things are in the market it's like get a frog caught in my throat there today like cough it up I'll have a little permit thing jump on the floor but check this out AMD if you followed them for years and years and years and years like I have I follow them since the very very beginning when the PC industry first started AMD has always had a place in the market and that place has always pretty much been the underdog now I know some hard core AMD fans are gonna be like hey man they have had CPUs that have been faster than Intel and they've had a video card that's faster than this guy but just having a better processor or a better video card for a slight moment in time is not really the whole war whatsoever it's not at all it's a battle in the war and you might win one battle but the overall war for them is very very very hard personally I think it would be really cool if AMD could rise all the way to the very top and be number one and the reason for this is for competition competitiveness creates diversion in the market makes things change and is better for me and you at the end of the day for the products that we can go buy with our hard-earned cash so one of the very first things that AMD has going against them this has kind of hurt them traditionally I'll explain this is that if you're a company especially if you're a technology company pretty much the biggest aspect of your company other than the sales is going to be R&D research and development which is the guy who's sitting back in the back trying to think of the most awesome thing that he can do out-of-the-box thinking so that he can come up with a product that will beat the other guy now for years AMD had a report every year about them losing money not making money this went on for a long time and so if me or you or most people had a company that lost money all the time we wouldn't be in business we be gonzo but somehow hey AMD has been around forever every year they lost money they still were here now my reasoning is because they're funded probably by the federal government or somebody else now in America we have laws against the monopolies which means that no one company can completely dominate a market so if Intel was the only company around they would have the monopoly on absolutely everything Intel would have the monopoly they don't the market there'd be no competition whatsoever AMD honestly has to exist they have to exist because they are the competition for Intel they always have been and now they've jumped into a totally new market buying ATI which is probably one of the smartest things that they ever did because actually AMD has improved since then they've gotten better rd they've gotten better products they've done a pretty good job of closing the market between both Intel and NVIDIA but here's the whole thing about that they're not only fighting a battle on one front they're fighting a battle on two fronts just right there alone they're trying to dominate in the GPU and the CPU market no one else is doing this in the entire world so AMD is actually in a very unique position where they're at they actually keep both companies now kind of in check because Nvidia is really the only other game for video cards so there's AMD and NVIDIA and then there's Intel and there's AMD AMD Nvidia AMD Intel see the pattern they're like they're keeping both these companies from having a monopoly on the market which is if you think about it it's kind of crazy stuff right so AMD has their position but their position for them to move into the number one spot it would be very very difficult and is very difficult for one thing like I said these guys don't have the money right now to invest enough money in R&D to beat two people on two different fronts maybe if they just chose one area and focused on that and kind of let the other one twiddle you could do that but fighting two different battles is really really hard so the R&D fact that's right there plus just think about this the overall market share for AMD right now is probably between 17 and 22 percent depending on what's going on and this is because of name branding if somebody goes into a store to go buy a computer or their ordinary computer online from Amazon and somewhere else traditionally people look and they go oh Intel Inside and when they see that they recognize the Intel name and it's the same thing with Nvidia honestly in some ways ati actually had more of a name for themselves in the video car business than AMD does since AMD changed the name maybe they should just have left at ATI that's a whole another video but right now that's really what really keeps me afloat even though they've changed the market with with the CPUs pretty well the video card market has really propelled them quite a long ways now since they only have a smaller amount of the market share that means they're making less money so let's just say that tomorrow AMD all of a sudden came up with a better video card than Nvidia and a better CPU then Intel okay they make it how long will it take the general public and the people who go out there and buy stuff beyond enthusiasts that will change the markets there so much that AMD is now getting you know 80% of the market instead of the other guys getting that market share that's a real big thing right there because even if they had better products the way things are right now it would still take a few years probably for them to market the crap out of stuff and get it out there that hey AMD is actually now better more stable and you know and it's bigger and better than these other two companies and that's gonna be pretty hard Plus AMD honestly should work much more with all the gaming companies than they do if you go out and you see most games a lot of those games you see say meant to be played with Nvidia a lot more than on the AMD side so if AMD really wants to get more recognition in the gaming industry especially which is like you know the industry that fuels the whole and piece the entire thing these days pretty much I mean Gaming is the number one thing with 3d and VR and all other crap it's where it's at so if you're gonna be inside of that market you have to always be on top of your game I know all of you diehard fans and everybody you know want AMD to succeed and be the number one company but unless a few things within that company change it's going to be very hard for them to dominate and get that position and to hold that position now just think of this Intel and NVIDIA even when they stumble they have so much cash and so much cash reserves from all the years that they've dominated the market that even if AMD does come up with better products traditionally it goes like this they bounce over each other that would force these guys to do that and this is what I think and I feel is the most unfortunate about all of this if AMD really doesn't push Intel and NVIDIA we're not going to see any really changing products from Intel or Nvidia because why are they going to change and release all these products if there's really no competition I mean think about it if they're selling more they're still selling more they can sit on their laurels and just kick back and chill and wait for AMD to do whatever they are going to do so if AMD changed a few things and somehow got infused with a lot more money for R&D I think there is a good possibility that AMD could come up and they could dominate on both fronts but the way things are right now I just don't see it happening for quite a long while even if next year like I said they have absolutely better products that still gives the other these other companies who haven't even really released their new arts and little stuff they have at least a little bit of stuffs and we don't know how you know the 11 Series launches we don't know if it's gonna be a rebrand for some reason the back of my mind now I'm thinking it probably is because there's really no reason for them to release a card that's so fast it's double the power of a 1080i because that would really make the playing field honestly there'd be no reason for anybody to go out and buy an AMD car at that point there just wouldn't be because if it's you know was it 599 600 bucks right now for the Vegas 64 if they had a card that was even $700 749 people are still gonna be willing to pay more money for that Nvidia card just because of the performance and it would be very hard for AMD to sell those cards at that price point they'd have to lower their card to a lower price to get people to buy it since the performance differences would be so much and that would honestly hurt AMD quite a bit so hopefully I guess for AMD sake you know maybe this will be a rebrand by Nvidia with the 11 Series cards and we won't see the market pull so far ahead but until AMD actually does have better CPUs and better GPUs across the board can maintain those products those prices and get those products to the market and then get the public awareness to be like hey Wow AMD is a force to be reckoned with now I know enthusiasts already know this but general people out there who aren't computer enthusiasts only are gonna buy what they recognize Intel and NVIDIA are very very recognized names they have stuff everywhere they spend huge marketing budgets because they had that money to throw away if less AMD can compete on all of these fields work with the gaming companies to get more games to do this it's gonna be an uphill struggle now please don't take this as I'm dissing on AMD because I'm not whatsoever but still the facts are the facts and reality sometimes it's just a bitch
