by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/27/2020 09:40 AM | source: Jon Peddie Research | 26 comment(s)

The numbers for GPU shipments in Q4’2019 are in, and have increased 3.4% sequentially from last quarter, with AMD's shipments up towards 22.6%, while Nvidia's decreased by -1.9% and Intel's increased by 0.2%.

AMD's market share from last quarter in overall GPU shipments increased 3.0%, Intel's decreased -2.0%, and Nvidia's market share decreased -0.97%, as indicated in the following chart. However, in discrete GPU shipments, AMD moved up to 27% from 26% last year, and 24% last quarter. Nonetheless, Nvidia is still the dominant market share leader in discrete GPUs worldwide with 73% of the market.

Highlights of the report

AMD’s overall unit shipments increased 22.6% quarter-to-quarter, Intel’s total shipments increased 0.2% from last quarter, and Nvidia’s decreased -1.9%
The overall attach rate of GPUs (includes integrated and discrete GPUs) to PCs for the quarter was 130% which was up 1.8% from last quarter
Discrete GPUs were in 31.9% of PCs, which is down -0.19% from last quarter
The overall PC market increased by 1.99% quarter-to-quarter and increased by 3.54% year-to-year
Desktop graphics add-in boards (AIBs) that use discrete GPUs increased 12.17% from last quarter
Q4'19 saw an increase in tablet shipments from last quarter

Jon Peddie, President of JPR, notes “This is the third consecutive quarter of increased GPU shipments, However, Q1 which is seasonally flat to down may show an unusual dip because of supply chain interruptions from China due to the Coronavirus epidemic. 2020 is going to be a game-changer with Intel’s entry into the discrete GPU market and a possible fourth entry by an IP company.”

A total of 93 million units were shipped in Q4'19 which decreased by one million units from the same quarter a year ago indicating the market is down on a year-to-year basis. However, this is the third quarter in a row of increased GPU shipments incrementally.

As proud 3.5GB half broken GTX970 owner myself, I find this fact rather amusing and very likable.

I had two of these in SLI back then when SLI was an actual thing. Those were good times, I loved those cards despite the 3.5GB thing. Wish I still had one

Would be a better companion than my GTX760 which is a little bit too weak for a 3440x1440 screen.

No

The fan/fans on my 2080Ti broke so I had to RMA it. Will get a new one though so that's great.

Yea, too bad the 3800X doesn't have iGPU now that I got a mobo with DisplayPort.

Surprising to be honest.

Not really. More bang for the buck

970 was not that people said it was. That 3.5gb hurt though i hope you got your 30$ back. :p

The revelation didn't change how the card performed. Mine performed exactly as I expected it to based on Hilbert's review.... My experience with the card was, for all intents and purposes, flawless....

And you know what the worst part? Only customers in the USA were privileged to apply for the refund.

The "refund" was court ordered. NVidia didn't do it because they knew they violated laws. They did it because they were forced to. US Courts can't issue an order that extends beyond US borders. Had people in other countries gone after NVidia over the memory spec issue, more people might have gotten money back.
