Report: Shipments of PC GPUs drop 35% from the same time last year to Q4 2022
New data reveals that the fourth quarter of 2022 saw a 35% YoY decrease in PC GPU shipments. This can be attributed to the declining demand for personal computers, which resulted in a sales decline of CPUs in the same period.
As most client systems feature integrated graphics, the sales of GPUs also dropped. The research estimates that 64.2 million discrete and integrated GPUs in total were sold in the last quarter, representing a 15.4% decline sequentially and a 38% decrease YoY.
While Nvidia launched expensive GPUs in the form of the GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090, AMD introduced its Radeon RX 7900 XT/XTX boards very late in the quarter. Sales of discrete desktop GPUs did not grow significantly compared to the previous quarter. Furthermore, shipments of notebook GPUs declined by 43% in Q4 2022, while sales of desktop GPUs dropped by 24% quarter-over-quarter.
Intel experienced the most significant decline in both CPU and GPU sales during the period, reflecting the fact that it is the world's largest processor supplier. Despite this, it maintained its position as the world's largest GPU vendor with a 71% market share. Nvidia came in second with a 17% share, while AMD's share remained at around 12%, a historical low for the company. AMD and Nvidia were able to slightly increase their market share from Q3 at Intel's expense.
Jon Peddie, president of JPR, said, "This quarter's total graphics processor shipments (integrated/embedded and discrete) decreased an astounding -15.3% from the previous quarter, contributing to a decline in the historical 10-year average rate of 6.8%. A total of 64 million units were shipped in the quarter, which was a decrease of -38.5 million units from the same quarter a year ago, indicating the GPU market is negative on a year-to-year basis."

They declined because GPU's don't even sell at MSRP, at least in my country.
Not to mention the overall pumped inflation of prices.
Drop GPU prices, sales will increase.
I am lucky, we have MSRP price and below (as i am in near duty free country), but the GPU sale are down too...
Same with CPU, people get a small Ryzen 5 or Intel i3 at max and save GPU and HDD/SSD from previous config.
People earn the same money but food rise by 50%, energy to move (B5,B9,E85,E5,E9 and E10) rise by near 100% for the new one and by 50% for the other, electricity rise over 75%, gaz by "too much" when we can have some... And on top of that water will be missing this summer (another shortage risk of elemental rss).
Big company bankrupt in our two neighbourg (France and Spain),
and if you are in asia you have the pressure of the USA VS North Korea and China.
General less money and pessimistic mood doesn't make you buy pleasure thing (btw the house and car sale also are in free fall).
Well... We will hibernate a year or two and see if it is better then... lol

Nvidia sales dept: boss, our sales are down 35%, what should we do?
Jensen: Increase prices 35% to make up for it.

Nvidia has no incentive to drop prices, because their Data Centre division is picking up all the slack. They seem content to ride this out and wait for another demand surge, whenever and wherever it may come from. And we all know AMD doesn't really care about its GPU division, so long as it's not losing money. Ironically, Intel might save us after all.

There isn't going to be another mining surge in demand anytime in the near future. Ethereum was built to be memory bottlenecked hence the use of GPUs instead of ASICs, there isn't going to be another popular cryptocurrency like that, which anyone cares about, not that I've heard of anyway. Whatever the next bullshitcoin is, it'll more than likely be run on ASICs. Jensen is going to have to eat shit sooner rather than later unless they can sell off all those dies to the datacenter.

Surely this isn't just about gaming PCs with video cards (like we use). During the pandemic, many people were spending their entertainment money on home entertainment options (like a new PC). Many started working from home (good time for a new PC). The demand for PCs had never been higher but it is was completely unsustainable growth.
