When you think of computer graphics, or look to buy a new graphic card, two names stick out—Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Nvidia. Intel produced a separate graphics card for a while but discontinued its ARC external graphics card in 2023. However, Intel still has embedded graphics in many of its CPUs. Third-party card manufacturers still offer cards based around Intel’s ARC GPUs (Graphic Processing Unit) but have a minimal share of the market compared to AMD and Nvidia. Depending on the intended use, there’s no clear leader in the GPU field, with both AMD and Nvidia tracing their GPU history back to the later 90s. But at the present time AMDs external and embedded GPUs are a very popular choice. Doing a CPU one on one comparison between AMD and Nvidia graphics cards and GPUs is one way to decide on a GPU choice that will meet your needs, but to be honest, in the real day-to-day world there’s not much difference between the vendors at the same performance and price levels, so let’s take a look at what AMD has to offer. As with PCs and CPUs, AMD’s GPUs have undergone an evolution over time. AMD was founded in 1969, and for most of the 70s, it focused on logic chips, RAM, and other microprocessors. By the 1980s, AMD was producing x86 CPUs for Intel, and in the early 90s, reverse engineered a clone of the 8086. During the late 90s and early 2000s, AMD focused on its Athlon CPU.
