[May 22, 2013] Jon Peddie Research Estimates Graphics Chip Shipments and Market Shares for First Quarter 2013 Tweet May 22, 2013 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Jon Peddie Research (JPR), an industry research and consulting firm for graphics and multimedia, announced estimated graphics chip shipments and suppliers' market share for 2013 Q1. According to a release, the news was disappointing for Intel, but encouraging for Nvidia and for AMD on the desktop. AMD lost 0.3 percent, quarter-to-quarter, Intel slipped 5.3 percent, and Nvidia increased by 3.6 percent. The overall PC market declined 13.7 percent quarter-to-quarter while the graphics market only declined 3.2 percent reflecting an interest on the part of consumers for double-attach-the adding of a discrete GPU to a system with integrated processor graphics. On a year-to-year basis we found that total graphics shipments during Q1'13 dropped 12.9 percent similar to PCs shipments declined by 12.6 percent overall. GPUs are traditionally a leading indicator of the market, since a GPU goes into every system before it is shipped and most of the PC vendors are guiding down to flat for Q2'13. The popularity of tablets and the persistent economic malaise are the most often mentioned reasons for the altered nature of the PC market. Nonetheless, the CAGR for PC graphics from 2012 to 2016 is 2.6 percent, and we expect the total shipments of graphics chips in 2016 to be 394 million units. The ten-year average change for graphics shipments for quarter-to-quarter is a growth of -2.2 percent. This quarter is below the average with a 3.2 percent decrease. -AMD's quarter-to-quarter total shipments of desktop heterogeneous GPU/CPUs, i.e., APUs jumped 30 percent from Q4 and declined 7.3 percent in notebooks. The company's overall PC graphics shipments slipped 0.3 percent. -Intel's quarter-to-quarter desktop processor-graphics EPG shipments decreased from last quarter by 3 percent, and Notebooks fell by 6.3 percent. The company's overall PC graphics shipments dropped 5.3 percent. -Nvidia's quarter-to-quarter desktop discrete shipments were flat from last quarter; and, the company's mobile discrete shipments increased 7.6 percent. The company's overall PC graphics shipments increase 3.6 percent. -Year to year this quarter AMD shipments declined 29.4 percent, Intel dropped 8.8 percent, Nvidia increased 3.6 percent, and VIA fell 8.4 percent from last year. -Total discrete GPUs (desktop and notebook) were up 1.1 percent from the last quarter and were down 11 percent from last year for the same quarter due to the same problems plaguing the overall PC industry. Overall the trend for discrete GPUs is up with a CAGR to 2016 of 2.6 percent. -Ninety nine percent of Intel's non-server processors have graphics, and over 67 percent of AMD's non-server processors contain integrated graphics; AMD still ships IGPs. Year to year for the quarter the graphics market decreased. Shipments were down 15.8 million units from this quarter last year.
