The PC and digital TV gaming segment, on the other hand, is estimated at 260 crore in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22 per cent during 2013—2018, to touch 690 crore by the end of 2018.

Gaming is one of the strongest verticals for the US—based firm, which makes graphics cards and Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). However, the number of games produced in India are mostly designed for mobile phones.

With more than 900 million mobile phone users, the mobile gaming industry in India was estimated at about 820 crore in 2013 and is projected to witness a CAGR of 19 per cent (2013—2018) to reach 1,960 crore by the year 2018.

“Development in the Indian market is similar to other developing countries like Brazil. And this is a market that AMD is committed to. We feel APUs will be a game changer for us here,” Huddy said.

He added that APUs, which combine the computing and graphics capabilities on a single chip, help bring down the cost of devices, which in turn will help in driving PC sales.
