The market for integrated and discrete GPUs has turned upside down. This is confirmed by the latest report by Jon Peddie Research, according to which the GPU shipments would drop to a decade low during the third quarter of 2022, for various regions.
First, PC OEMs have cut back on purchases, but so have players themselves have preferred to wait for the new generation products. Added to this is also the trend of the cryptocurrency market which has prompted miners to stop buying graphics cards following the Ethereum Merge. All this has led to a trend that until last year seemed unimaginable.
Sales of integrated and discrete GPUs fell to 75.5 million units in the third quarter of 2022, down 10.5% year over year. The Desktop GPU shipments were down 15.43%while notebook GPUs are down a whopping 30%, the largest decline since the 2009 recession according to JPR.
In the report Jon Peddie notes that the results are far below the producers’ expectations.
Intel has confirmed itself as the leading supplier of graphics processors for PCs, also being the largest CPU manufacturer. The Santa Clara-based company has increased its dominance and holds a 72% share of the PC GPU market in the third quarter of 2022, having recorded a +4.7% for GPU shipments.
NVIDIA instead saw its share drop to 16% due to a 19.7% sales contraction, while AMD’s share plunged 12% after -47.6% reported sequentially.
