Overall GPU Shipments Increased 9.3% From Last Quarter, AMD 8% Nvidia 30%
A week or so ago Nvidia published its latest financials with proper results. Jon Peddie Research has just published a report, and overall GPU Shipments Increased 9.3% From Last Quarter, AMD Increased 8% while Nvidia Increased 30%
The desktop gain is attributed to gaming and cryptocurrency. That helped AMD and Nvidia gain market share. This is the latest report from Jon Peddie Research on the GPUs used in PCs. It is reporting on the results of Q3'17 GPU shipments world-wide. The third quarter is typically the strongest from the previous quarter in the seasonal cycles of the past. For Q3'17 it increased 9.3% from last quarter, and was below the ten-year average of 9.52%.
- AMD’s overall unit shipments increased 7.63% quarter-to-quarter, Intel’s total shipments increased 5.01% from last quarter, and Nvidia’s increased 29.53%.
- The attach rate of GPUs (includes integrated and discrete GPUs) to PCs for the quarter was 144% which was down -1.28% from last quarter.
- Discrete GPUs were in 39.55% of PCs, which is up 4.18%.
- The overall PC market increase 10.31% quarter-to-quarter, and decrease -2.06% year-to-year.
- Desktop graphics add-in boards (AIBs) that use discrete GPUs increased 29.05% from last quarter.
- Q3'17 saw an increase in tablet shipments from last quarter.
As mentioned, the normal seasonality has re-established itself in the PC market, albeit in a slowly declining way.
GPUs are traditionally a leading indicator of the market, since a GPU goes into every system before it is shipped, and most of the PC vendors are guiding cautiously for Q4’14.
The Gaming PC segment, where higher-end GPUs are used, was once again the bright spot in the market in the quarter.
The quarter in general
AMD’s shipments of desktop heterogeneous GPU/CPUs, i.e., APUs, increased 7.1% from the previous quarter. AMD's notebook APU shipments were up 2.2%. Desktop discrete GPUs increased 16.1% from last quarter, and notebook discrete shipments increased 5.2%. AMD’s total PC graphics shipments increased 7.6% from the previous quarter.
Intel’s desktop processor-graphics shipments increased from last quarter by 5.0% and notebook processors increased by 5.9%, and total PC graphics shipments increased 5.0% from last quarter.
Nvidia’s discrete desktop GPU shipments were up 34.7% from last quarter, and the company’s discrete notebook GPU shipments increased 22.4%, and total PC graphics shipments increased 29.5% from last quarter.
Total discrete GPUs (desktop and notebook) shipments for the industry increased 23.3% from the last quarter, and increased 11.7% from last year. Sales of discrete GPUs fluctuate due to a variety of factors (timing, memory pricing, etc.), new product introductions, and the influence of integrated graphics. Overall, 5-year forecasted CAGR is now -5.8%, which is down from -4.5% last year.
Ninety ninepercent of Intel’s non-server processors have graphics, and over 66% of AMD’s non-server processors contain integrated graphics; AMD still ships integrated graphics chipsets (IGPs).
Graphics chips (GPUs) and chips with graphics (IGPs, APUs, and EPGs) GPUs shipments are a leading indicator for the PC market. At least one and often two GPUs are present in every PC shipped. It can take the form of a discrete chip, a GPU integrated into the chipset or embedded in the CPU. The average has grown from 1.2 GPUs per PC in 2001 to 1.44 GPUs per PC.
JPR’s detailed 81-page Market Watch report will provide you with all the data, analysis and insight you need to clearly understand where this technology is today and where it's headed.
Our findings include discrete and integrated graphics (CPU and chipset) for Desktops, Notebooks (and Netbooks). It does not include iPad and Android-based tablets, or ARM-based Servers, or x86-based servers. It does include x86-based tablets, Chromebooks, and embedded systems.
GPUs are traditionally a leading indicator of the market, since a GPU goes into every non-server system before it is shipped, and most of the PC vendors are guiding cautiously for Q4’14. The Gaming PC segment, where higher-end GPUs are used, was a bright spot in the market in the quarter.
For those who wish to understand the PC market, an understanding of the highly complex technology and ecosystem that has been built around the GPU is essential to understanding the market’s future directions.
The report contains the following content:
- Worldwide GPU and PC Shipment Volume, 1994 to 2020.
- Detailed worldwide GPU Shipment Volume, 1Q 2001 to 2Q 2016, and forecast to 2020.
- Major suppliers: Detailed market share data-on the shipments of AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and others.
- Financial results for the leading suppliers: Analysis of the quarterly results of the leading GPU suppliers
- Market Forecasts: You will also be able to download a detailed spreadsheet and supporting charts that project the supplier’s shipments over the period 2001 to 2018. Projections are split into platforms and GPU type.
- GPUs: History, Status, and Analysis.
- Financial History from for the last nine quarter: Based on historic SEC filings, you can see current and historical sales and profit results of the leading suppliers.
- A Vision of the future: Building upon a solid foundation of facts, data and sober analysis, this section pulls together all of the report's findings and paints a vivid picture of where the PC graphics market is headed.
- Charts, graphics, tables and more: Included with this report is an Excel workbook. It contains the data we used to create the charts in this report. The workbook has the charts and supplemental information.

It has nohing to do with crypto currency or gaming...
All the cloud service providers and HPC-s are upgrading to Volta.

Does that mean that if all PCs equal 100%, 44% of them have a dedicated GPU also? If so it would only show what a waste of resources, die space, and money an iGPU is for 44% of the users.
Only if I understood that correctly, though.
you are right but it's not a waste as it's only an extra if you don't need dedicated GPU.
also as seen on AMD with and without IGP on FM2: the money saved is really low

You are probably right. Money saved is low, but wouldn't it make sense with high margins (mainstream CPUs like Intels mainstream platforms) to save Intel that money, not us customers?
I mean, we're talking about millions of CPUs, literally football fields of die space that could be saved. I just thought it read like a huge margin to save, just my impression.

At least in recent years, I find there to be an interesting correlation between Intel vs Nvidia marketshare.
I wouldn't say 100% of those 44% of users have their IGP go to waste. For example if this chart includes laptops (which it probably does) then Optimus/Enduro users are likely treated as Nvidia/AMD users, even though most of the time they probably use the Intel graphics.
Meanwhile, there are also some people who have many-display setups, where you use the Intel graphics to drive additional monitors that your discrete GPU doesn't have the connectors for.
Lastly, there are also the very niche users, who may primarily use a discrete GPU, but the Intel graphics are used for things like OpenCL or in REALLY niche cases, a hypervisor.
But otherwise, yes, the IGP is (in most cases) a waste of space, and it irritates me that users are paying for a good chunk of silicon that they may never use. This is usually why if I go for Intel with a discrete GPU, I tend to focus on Xeons, where many models trade the IGP for a bigger cache, among other features.
EDIT:
If maybe 2-3 years ago Intel released an overclockable 6-core i5 without an IGP (and in turn, lowering the price of it) I'd have bought it. Personally, I think all of their K series CPUs shouldn't contain IGPs.
