Gigabyte Technology for the first six months 2017 reduced the motherboard deliveries volume from 8.5 million to 6.6 million units. However, the July volumes of video cards installed a monthly record - 550 thousand items. For the first half of last year, Gigabyte released 1.6 million video cards, for the same period this year - already 1.9 million video cards. As a result, the company managed to achieve revenue growth of 11.44% in the annual comparison.
MSI's revenue also grew by 12.4%, but in addition to video cards, the gaming laptops of the brand should also be thanked for this.
In the third quarter, video card manufacturers expect a moderate recovery in demand for PCs, but they are hoping for a consistent increase in revenue due to continued interest in crypto-currencies, the emergence of new Intel and AMD platforms for PCs and servers, and the emergence of new graphics solutions AMD. About NVIDIA's innovations in this forecast there is not a word, which once again proves their lack of plans for NVIDIA itself for the third quarter of this year.
