GPU market is growing despite recession

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/27/2008 10:57 AM | source: | 0 comment(s)

Recession, financial crisis .. around the globe there's a lot happening. But apparantly it does not effect GPU sales at at all, in fact .. there was a slight increase in overall sales. Jon Peddie Research announced estimated graphics shipments and supplier market share for the third calendar quarter of 2008.

GPUs are used in industrial and medical systems, point of sale terminals, kiosks, digital signs, and PCs. More than one GPU is being used in over one third of all PCs being shipped today. In Q3'08 over a 111 million GPUs were shipped. During the same quarter last year, only 91 million GPUs shipped, and 94 million units shipped in the previous quarter.

 That's an annual increase of 22.5 percent and a quarter-to-quarter increase of almost 18 percent, as shown in Table 1.

It's the largest increase in quarter to quarter shipments in six years.

Market shares shifted for the big three, AMD, Intel and NVIDIA, and put pressure on the smaller three, Matrix SiS and VIA/S3, and still almost everyone showed an increase in shipments as indicated in Table 2.
