GPU shipments in Q4 2022 decreased by 38% compared to the same period last year

In recent quarters, PC demand has been weak, and as CPU shipments decline, GPU shipments are also declining, with more customers choosing integrated graphics.

Recently, Jon Peddie Research (JPR) released its latest GPU market data report, which showed that the GPU shipments (including integrated and discrete graphics cards) used in PCs in Q4 2022 were 64.2 million, a 15.4% decrease from the previous quarter and a 38% decrease from the same period last year. Correspondingly, CPU shipments used in PCs in Q4 2022 were 54 million, a 17.4% decrease from the previous quarter and a 35.3% decrease from the same period last year. In addition, the sales of desktop discrete graphics cards in Q4 2022 were approximately 7.43 million units, a 7.8% increase from the previous quarter and a 43.7% decrease from the same period last year.

In Q4 2022, Nvidia released the GeForce RTX 4080/4090, while AMD released the Radeon RX 7900 XT/XTX, both of which are high-end graphics cards on the desktop platform, but did not bring significant growth to graphics card sales. It is worth noting that GPU shipments on the mobile platform in Q4 2022 decreased by 43%, which is much higher than the 24% decrease in desktop GPUs.

Intel’s CPU and GPU sales declined the most in Q4 2022, with a market share of 71%; Nvidia ranked second with a share of 17%; AMD’s share remained around 12%, which is a historical low for the company. Jon Peddie, the president of Jon Peddie Research, stated that the GPU market experienced a negative year-on-year growth, with the total shipment (including integrated, embedded, and discrete graphics cards) decreasing by 15.4% compared to the previous quarter, which is higher than the average decline of 6.8% over the past decade.
