According to the latest report from Jon Peddie Research (JPR), Shipments of processors and graphics declined during the third quarter of 2022. This is shocking, considering that this is a time when sales tend to accelerate, but again, the turbulent context we live in, with various intertwining crises, has caused shipments of processors and graphics to decline, followed by PCs. trend of recent months.

JPR says that according to their calculations total supply of graphics were 75.5 million units in the third quarter of 2022 and were expected to grow by 2.8% year-on-year. However, what ended up happening is a down 25.1% compared to figures for the same period last year. As surprising as it sounds, most of the decline was absorbed by the notebook market with a 30% drop, while desktops saw a 15.43% decline. JPR points out that this is the biggest drop since the 2009 recession, when the economic crisis at the time combined with the rise of smartphones and tablets over PCs.

As for the big two graphics processing manufacturers, NVIDIA and AMD Radeon (Intel remains to be seen how far this will go), their shipments fell by 47.6 and 19.7 percent in the third quarter of 2022. Intel improved its records with an increase of 4.7%.

NVIDIA and AMD Radeon saw their market shares drop by 8.5 and 1.87 percent, respectively, while Intel managed to improve by 10.3 percent.. Taking the GPU set in general, Intel continues to dominate with a 72% share thanks to integrated processors that have been very good for generations for all basic tasks and even for many professionals that don’t require graphics performance (e.g. web development). NVIDIA and AMD are in second and third place with shares of 16 and 12 percent, respectively.

The situation is similar processors, whose shipments fell by 19% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of the previous year and by 5.7% compared to the second quarter of 2022. In total, 66 million units were sold, which is four million fewer than in the second quarter of 2022 and 15 million fewer than in the third quarter of 2021.

The situation is different depending on whether we focus on desktops or laptops, as shipments of the former increased by 10% and the latter decreased by the same proportion.

Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research, explains that the results are a result of “the collapse of cryptocurrency mining, China’s zero COVID policy affecting production, and US sanctions.” On the other hand, he is not bullish on the fourth quarter of 2022, in which he believes shipments will fall again, albeit with better product availability.
