Unit gross sales of discrete graphics playing cards for desktop computer systems hit an all-time low in 2022, based on information launched by Jon Peddie Analysis this week. Whereas shipments of add-in-boards (AIBs) rebounded within the fourth quarter, pushed by the introduction of AMD’s Radeon RX 7900-series in addition to Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4090 merchandise \u2014 that are the perfect graphics playing cards obtainable right this moment \u2014 the entire yr was exceptionally weak for graphics playing cards.<\/p>\n

The business shipped 7.3 million standalone graphics playing cards for desktop PCs in This autumn 2022, up modestly from round 6.81 million in Q3 2022, however down 27.4% from 13.19 million in This autumn 2021, based mostly on JPR information. The analysts attribute the rise of AIB unit gross sales to engaging costs of previous-generation graphics playing cards, in addition to the rollout of latest ones.<\/p>\n
“The fourth quarter of 2022 was peculiar by way of AIB shipments, as some last-gen product stock ranges had been being run down whereas new ones had been launched, mixed with extra stock and overhang within the channel,” stated Dr. Jon Peddie, president of JPR. “Some merchandise like Nvidia\u2019s RTX 4090 did exceptionally effectively regardless of its excessive worth, so nearly every part we thought we knew about economics and market habits gave the impression to be turned on its head in This autumn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nvidia maintained its lead with 13 million desktop GPUs and an 84% market share. Additionally, analysts from JPR point out exceptionally spectacular gross sales of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090 product that carries a $1,599 price ticket. AMD’s market share in This autumn 2022 elevated modestly to 11% from 10% within the earlier quarter, however declined sharply from This autumn 2021 as the corporate solely shipped round 0.8 million discrete desktop graphics playing cards, one of many worst quarterly outcomes ever. Intel managed about 5% of the market, based on Jon Peddie Analysis.<\/p>\n
“We noticed a modest return to progress in This autumn 2022 as a result of stabilization of AIB costs and the profitable rollout of next-generation GPUs from AMD and Nvidia,” stated C. Robert Dow, an analyst at JPR “The high-end RTX 4090, priced at $1,599 at launch, was notably profitable, with retailers unable to maintain the half in inventory. The success of those high-end AIBs displays that first adopters have gotten acclimated to greater costs.”<\/p>\n

For the entire yr 2022, AMD, Intel, and Nvidia offered round 37.86 million graphics processors for desktop AIBs, down sharply from roughly 49.15 million items in 2021, based on Jon Peddie Analysis. In reality, 37.86 million items is an all-time low for discrete graphics desktop graphics boards. So as to add some context, gross sales of standalone graphics playing cards for desktop PCs peaked at 116 million items in 1998, based mostly on JPR information.<\/p>\n
With 30.34 million desktop discrete graphics processors offered in 2022, Nvidia maintained quite robust unit shipments and grabbed market share away from AMD. In reality, the corporate’s desktop GPU unit gross sales in 2022 exceeded its shipments in pre-pandemic 2019, however 2022 was not a very good yr from unit shipments viewpoint.<\/p>\n
In contrast, gross sales of AMD’s Radeon add-in-boards dropped to six.76 million items, their lowest level ever. In 2019 \u2013 2021, the corporate shipped round 10 million standalone GPUs for desktop graphics playing cards per yr, however 2022 seemed to be notably unhealthy for AMD’s AIB unit shipments. It’s onerous to say one explicit cause for such efficiency of AMD’s graphics unit, however it’s possible that the corporate’s deal with different merchandise was among the many elements.<\/p>\n

Sharp Decline of Revenues<\/p>\n
Unit gross sales of standalone graphics boards for desktop PCs clearly nosedived in 2022, so the entire market dropped $24.14 billion within the final 4 quarters, based on JPR. The quantity means that a mean promoting worth (ASP) of a graphics card was $637. In contrast, the desktop AIB market was price $51.8 billion in 2021 and a graphics board ASP was at $1,056. Nonetheless, JPR expects the AIB market to develop by 7% over the following three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
