JPR has reported on the GPU shipments for Q1 in 2024, and as we might have expected, it’s all going down still. But that shouldn’t be a surprise, with disappointing releases, high pricing, and general market inflation, there is no desire for these best GPUs on the top end.
The JPR report has shown a decrease of 12.6% over the last quarter and 38.2% lower year to year. But the attach rate (prebuilt) increased by 8% last quarter but was also down 21% year to year. Overall it is estimated 6.3 million add-in boards shipped in Q1 2023.
In that period, Intel increased its share of the market by 2%, increasing it up to 4% overall. While AMD has stayed flat at 12% and Nvidia is up high at 84%. But this also does come with the likelihood that this comes with enterprise graphics cards as well, so might also increase the number and not just be representative of the gaming market.
Intels Arc range has been doing well, with the price decreases compared to the other cards coming out, especially as the performance is still improving. And in general AMD’s shipments decreased by 7.5% between quarters, with Nvidia’s decreasing by 15.2%.
We recently had the RX 7600 and RTX 4060 Ti releases, but these haven’t exactly been selling too hot. With not many improvements generationally, we still have a lot more cards in the generation to come out. And so things still may change by the end of the year, but Q2 is unlikely to be any different.
But Intel’s Battlemage is still being worked on and if it follows the performance and pricing of the Arc range, we can expect some fierce competition. But that still might be some time away and we still have a few GPUs in the meantime.
