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."

Gaming hardware these days is a byproduct of professional hardware.
It's kept running to pay for R&D costs.
Now they want to run AI and chatbots instead of mining.
(Pretty much the same, except that AI / chatbots are run by server farms, not silly single GPU cards bought for mining, so even more expensive compared to a server.)
And Intel, as the savior? Wow @mackintosh that's very optimistic
They are just in because they didn't dare to no go through with it, hoping to get a piece of the big cake as well, gaming GPUs are a byproduct as well for them I'd say.
All in all, there is no hope. So rechoice, and look into the abyss.

Of course there's a decline in GPU and CPU sales. Motherboard and GPU manufacturer's are taking the p*ss with extortionate pricing.

It's going to be a long wait for all the ppl that think Nvidia will have to lower prices because of gaming GPU's "not selling".....

I don't disagree, I'm just musing what I think their mindset is at the moment. They're looking at their Data Center sales, they see strong demand in the nascent AI sector, so they've decided to increase prices and reduce supply to artificially keep the equilibrium price higher for the time being. Worst case scenario they will lower prices for the next generation and earn some goodwill alongside strong sales from people who have been holding out. I dread the best case scenario.
