One more snippet from AMD's Q3 2018 earnings call. The company usually doesn't provide granularity about the mix between CPU and GPU sales but with the
weaker than expected results, the company was
quick to point out that Ryzen now drives over 70 percent of total client revenue. The main implication here is that with the crypto mining tailwind gone, sales of Radeon video cards have fallen off a cliff.
Ryzen processor sales increased to more than 70% of our total client revenue in the quarter. We delivered our highest processor unit shipment in nearly four years, and believe we gained desktop and notebook client processor unit share in the quarter, driven by growth with both OEMs and in the channel. In desktop, we had strong demand for our higher end Ryzen 7, Ryzen 5 and Ryzen Threadripper processors, helping to drive a double-digit percentage year-over-year and sequential improvement in client processor ASP.
