Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares climbed Monday as the chipmaker’s gaming GPUs gained market share in Japan.

At a product launch event in Japan, AMD said its latest Radeon series offerings have helped boost its market share to 45% in Japan, according to a report from Tom’s Hardware. The company competes with Nvidia (NVDA), which has been hindered by supply chain issues.

“AMD isn’t used to selling [so many] graphics cards,” AMD Japan Marketing Manager Yoshiaki Sato reportedly said. 

Shares of AMD rose close to 4% Monday, but have lost nearly half of their value over the past 12 months amid concerns about the chipmaker’s AI revenue and ability to compete with Nvidia.
