Second quarter graphics card market: Intel surged A/N with the same step

Market research firm Jon Peddie Research (JPR) today released the graphics card market statistics report in the second quarter of 2011. In terms of vendor share, Intel has made rapid progress, resulting in significant declines in AMD and NVIDIA.

By convention, the second quarter is an off-season for the industry, but this year is an exception. Total shipments of various GPUs have increased by 6.3% compared to the first three months of the year to 140 million, which is significantly higher than the average increase of 3.5 over the past decade. 3.5 %, compared with the same period last year also increased significantly by 18.6% (22 million), but at the same time also led to concerns about inventory issues.

Intel continued to increase GPU-integrated processor shipments for the sixth quarter in a row. The average desktop and notebook growth was 21%, driving its graphics card market share to increase by 6 percentage points to 60.7%, breaking the 60% mark, compared to last year. In the same period, it increased by 7.8 percentage points.

AMD's market share was 24.7% in the first quarter of this year and the second quarter of last year, but this time it fell to 21.2%. It seems that the release of Fusion APU will not affect the graphics card market as it drives the expansion of AMD's processor market. After all, this will cause some impact on discrete graphics cards and traditional integrated graphics cards, and the APU has only just been born. It still needs further development. test.

NVIDIA’s share has declined steadily, from 21.4% last year to 19.9% ​​at the beginning of the year and now only 17.5%.

Matrox and SiS have almost disappeared, and VIA/S3 has only 0.5% left.

With the vigorous promotion of Intel and AMD, GPU-integrated processors are rapidly developing, and the ring growth rates of the two products are as high as 41% and 80% respectively. Supplemented by independent graphics cards, the number of GPUs in each PC also continues to increase. In 2001, it was an average of 1.15, which is now close to 1.6.

In addition, in the second quarter of 2011, total shipments of PCs totaled more than 84 million units, an increase of 2.4% from the previous quarter, which was lower than the growth rate of GPUs. Therefore, there may be an inventory backlog in the second half of the year. The impact of the iPad and Android tablets on the PC can not be ignored, especially the Internet is the most affected.

Note: The statistics here include various types of graphics cards, such as discrete graphics cards in desktops and notebooks, integrated graphics chipsets, and processor integrated graphics cores.
