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.

If they put prices back to normal they would probably sell more.
