Not just Intel

Analysts at Jon Peddie Research have added up some numbers and divided them by their shoe size and worked out that AMD has both Intel and Nvidia on the ropes.

The chipmaker is beating Nvidia for the first time in half a decade in the overall GPU market – plus AMD has made significant gains in the discrete graphics market, too.

In the the second quarter of 2019 Intel leads the pack with 66.9 percent of GPUs, a slight drop of 1.4 percent compared to the previous quarter. AMD moved up into second place on 17.2 percent, which is a 1.5 percent gain in the last quarter (and a jump of 2.4 percent year-on-year).

Nvidia slipped to 16 percent although that’s only down 0.1 percent on the previous quarter (but represents a drop of one percent compared to the same time last year).

This means Nvidia is lagging behind AMD to the tune of 1.2 percent when all graphics solutions, including integrated, are taken into account.

Jon Peddie’s stats say this is the first time AMD has been ahead of Nvidia since Q2 of 2014, some five years ago.

AMD shipped 9.85 percent more GPUs compared to the previous quarter, Nvidia’s shipment numbers remained mostly flat, and Intel shipped 1.44 percent fewer GPUs.

The overall GPU market for the PC was up 9.25 percent compared to the previous quarter and witnessed a gain of almost 3.1 percent year-on-year.

Discrete graphics card shipments dropped by 16.6 percent compared to Q1, and a hefty 39.7 percent year-on-year, a slump that’s most likely still tied in with the implosion of the market for crypto-mining GPUs, which is seemingly continuing to make its effects felt at least to some extent as we progress through 2019.
