PC GPU shipments down 19 percent in Q1 2022

Shipments of video cards for PCs fell in the first quarter of this year. This is reported by analyst firm Jon Peddie Research. In the past quarter, 19 percent fewer GPUs would have been delivered than in the same quarter in 2021.

According to Jon Peddie Research The global PC GPU market reached 96 million shipments in the first quarter of this year. That is a decrease of 6.2 percent compared to the GPU shipments in the last quarter of last year and a decrease of 19 percent compared to the first quarter of last year.

However, the analyst firm says 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 discrete GPUs in the PC market will grow to 46 percent over the next five years.

In terms of the division of the market between AMD, Intel and Nvidia, no huge shifts are visible. 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 by 8 percentage points to 60 percent. Intel still has by far the largest GPU market share, because integrated GPUs have also been included here and these are often incorporated in Intel’s CPUs.

In the field of separate video cards, it is particularly striking that Intel is making its entrance here. This market segment was previously always divided between Nvidia and AMD, with the division roughly at 80 and 20 percent respectively. This is now shifted slightly by Intel’s share, which hovers around 5 percent. That share will be related to the introduction of the Arc GPUs.
