The graphics market, key in the field of personal computers and especially those intended for games or professional editing applications, reached 61.6 million units sold in the second quarter of 2023 for 2023. 12.4% increaseaccording to a Jon Peddie Research report.

It’s an important date because it coincides with a big drop in sales of processors as well as PCs after a seasonal break after a big rise during the COVID pandemic. In addition, GPU sales figures may push ahead revival of PC sales which is expected by 2024.

Graphics market: AMD is growing, but…

AMD’s participation in the graphics market increased slightly in the face of the failures of Intel and AMD. But we must insist, as always when we talk about “graphics sales”, that the data from consultants refers to global data, which includes data integrated into the processors themselves and dedicated graphics cards.

Globally, Intel is the market leader both on desktops and laptops, but due to processor sales. NVIDIA has gained 31% share of the desktop GPU market AMD achieved a 14% share. In notebooks, they are practically tied, but with the usual caveat: in this data, they do not separate integrated from dedicated.

Overall, notebook GPUs accounted for 73% of total shipments, while desktop GPUs accounted for the remaining 27%, confirming the dominance of notebooks over desktop OEMs, whose sales have been in steep decline for a decade.

“Lion’s share” (to understand where the real income is), NVIDIA continues to sweep with a market share of dedicated graphics cards of 87%. AMD only got 10%, while Intel (despite the best efforts of its new graphics division) is irrelevant with a 3% share. There is no detailed data on consumer and professional graphics that are installed in professional work machines, but NVIDIA has a strong dominance in both sectors.

AMD has been doing very well in processors since the launch of Ryzen and has closed the gap against Intel, but in dedicated graphics failed to approach nvidia. It remains to be seen if it can revive the Radeon RX 7700 XT and Radeon RX 7800 XT market compared to the RTX 40 series. As for Intel, we need it as an alternative in graphics that is able to reduce inflated prices, but the truth is that its future in the devotee she is uncertain.
