The changing situation in the market of professional graphics solutions makes Jon Peddie Research adapt the methods of statistical records. For example, now when counting the number of sold graphics solutions they take into account not only the discrete graphics processors and hybrid solutions, but also used in the x86-compatible tablets graphics system, and various embedded graphics terminals and industrial PCs.
As reported by the authors of the new study, the sales volume in the first quarter decreased by 3.2% compared with the previous quarter. The average value for ten years this period is 2.2%, and we are talking about growth and not fall in sales. Compared with the first quarter last year, graphics sales fell by 12.9% - by comparison, the entire PC market declined by 12.6%. However, experts Jon Peddie Research are optimistic and say that 2016 graphics market will grow on average by 2.6% per year, reaching the end a period 394 million pieces.
If we talk about the transition from the fourth quarter 2012 to the first quarter of the current, the sales volume of graphics solutions AMD dropped by 0,3%, Intel lost 5.3% immediately, and NVIDIA generally increased by 3.6%. It was in the lead and to increase market share (from 16.8% to 18%), Intel has passed the position (from 63.1% to 61.8%), and AMD even increased by 0.6 points (from 19.7% to 20.2%).
In annual terms, the same dynamics of AMD market share can not be called progress - in the first quarter 2012, the company controlled 25.2% of the market . Intel's positions were weaker than a year ago (59.1%), and NVIDIA also settled for a smaller share (15.1%). If we talk about the dynamics of annual sales, AMD has lowered rates by 29,4%, Intel - by 8.8%, but NVIDIA has increased its sales by 3.6%. VIA/S3 company reduced sales by 8.4%, but in the first quarter this year, its market share has dropped to a level comparable to 0%.
If we consider the individual market segments , AMD has had success in the sector of hybrid desktop processors - the sales volume for the quarter increased by 30%. However, in the notebook segment, volumes fell by 7.3%, as in the same period, NVIDIA increased sales of its discrete mobile graphics solutions at 7.6%.
The market of discrete graphics solutions as a whole for the first quarter increased by 1.1% compared to the previous one, but in the annual comparison was 11%. With the exception of server processors, 99% of Intel products had integrated graphics for AMD this figure was 67%. In addition, the company still supplies chipsets with integrated graphics.
