In the first quarter, according to research expert Jon Peddie Research, the market of discrete graphics solutions decreased by 6.8% compared with the previous quarter. This is due to the continuing decline in the desktop computer market. Meanwhile, in the second quarter graphics card market could collapse by 30-40%.
Such a sharp drop is due to the currents in the PC market due to excessive inventory and video cards that have suppliers. Reduced prices for solutions from NVIDIA and AMD could stimulate some demand, but GPU makers decided to focus on reducing the volume of deliveries of processors to maintain profits and maintain a balance between stocks and new supplies.
At the same time, excessive stocks began to influence the sale of the majority of suppliers from April .
