‘Gpu shipments for PCs fell by 19 percent in Q1 2022’
Shipments of PC video cards declined in the first quarter of this year. That reports analyst firm Jon Peddie Research. In the past quarter, 19 percent fewer GPUs are said to have been delivered than in the same quarter from 2021.
According to Jon Peddie Research the worldwide GPU market for PCs reached 96 million deliveries in the first quarter of this year. That is a decrease of 6.2 percent from the GPU deliveries in the last quarter of last year and a decrease of 19 percent from the first quarter of last year.
However, the analyst firm states that the GPU market for PCs looks relatively good in the longer term. The agency predicts that there will be a compound annual growth rate of 6.3 percent from 2022 to 2026 and that the market penetration of individual GPUs in the PC market will grow to 46 percent over the next five years.

There are no huge shifts visible in the division of the market between AMD, Intel and Nvidia. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, AMD had a market share that grew by two percentage points. Nvidia increased its market share to 21 percent, while Intel’s share fell 8 percentage points to 60 percent. Intel still has by far the largest GPU market share, because it also includes integrated GPUs, which are often incorporated into Intel’s CPUs.
In the field of separate video cards, it is especially noticeable that Intel is making its entrance here. This market segment was previously always divided between Nvidia and AMD, with the distribution being roughly 80 and 20 percent respectively. This has now shifted slightly by Intel’s share, which hovers around 5 percent. That share will have to do with the introduction of the Arc GPUs.
