AMD Makes Gains in GPU Shipments in Q2-2019: Jon Peddie Research
The PC GPU market sequentially increased by 0.6% in Q2'19, decreased year-to-year by -10.4% This is the latest report from Jon Peddie Research on the GPUs used in PCs. It is reporting on the results of Q2'19 GPU shipments world-wide. AMD shipments increased 9.8% NVIDIA was flat and Intel's shipments, decreased -1.4% as indicated in the following chart.
Even though there is uncertainty in the notebook supply chain, there has been a record number of new notebook announcements, and systems with amazing specifications in performance, battery life, and screen resolution. Specialized notebooks that sit somewhere between workstations and enthusiast PCs are arriving on the market for creative professionals. Strong graphics subsystems are an important selling point for these machines.
In seasonal cycles of the past, overall graphics shipments in the second quarter are typically down from the previous quarter. For Q2'19, it increased by 0.6% from last quarter and was greater than the ten-year average of -2%.
This quarter's shipments of total graphics processors (integrated/embedded and discrete) increased 0.6% from the previous quarter, which is a decline in the ten-year average historical rate of 0.9%. A total of 76.7 million units were shipped in Q2'19 which decreased by -8.93 million units from the same quarter a year ago indicating the market is negative. on a year-to-year basis.
Quick highlights
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 optimistically for next quarter, an average of 13%.
JPR also publishes a series of reports on the PC Gaming Hardware Market, which covers the total market including system and accessories, and looks at 31 countries.
Pricing and Availability
JPR's Market Watch is available now in both electronic and hard copy editions and sells for $2,750. Included with this report is an Excel workbook with the data used to create the charts, the charts themselves, and supplemental information. The annual subscription price for JPR's Market Watch is $5,500 and includes four quarterly issues. Full subscribers to JPR services receive Tech Watch (the company's bi-weekly report) and a copy of Market Watch as part of their subscription.

Quick highlights
- AMD's overall unit shipments increased 9.85% quarter-to-quarter, Intel's total shipments decreased -1.44% from last quarter, and NVIDIA's decreased -0.04%.
- The attach rate of GPUs (includes integrated and discrete GPUs) to PCs for the quarter was 120% which was down -10.38% from last quarter.
- Discrete GPUs were in 26.95% of PCs,down -1.99% from last quarter.
- The overall PC market increased by 9.25% quarter-to-quarter and increased by 3.07% year-to-year.
- Desktop graphics add-in boards (AIBs) that use discrete GPUs decreased -16.62% from last quarter.
- Q2'19 saw a decrease in tablet shipments from last quarter.

39 Comments on AMD Makes Gains in GPU Shipments in Q2-2019: Jon Peddie Research
:D
I would imagine this is probably near best case scenario to what AMD were expecting and kicks wide open the doors to the rest of their Navi launch products.
Now as AMD themselves keep repeating, they need to follow through and execute properly. The Navi mid-tier launch went very well for them even without AIB models added in yet.
AMD has around 30% of discrete GPU share - that doesn't include CPU IGPs, but it includes laptops and Macs.
End of story.
Who cares how many Radeons are there in top5 on Amazon?
I bet you're also a fan of Mindfactory CPU sales figures. ;-)You don't need to have an AMD GPU to know that you'd be happier with something from Nvidia. That's why reviews and benchmarks exist.
Similarly, you don't need to have AIDS to know it's worse than influenza. Someone has already checked.The price is fairly normal. That's what consulting companies ask for this kind of standarized market research. It's fairly hard to make and there aren't that many buyers.
If millions of people wanted this kind of information, some publisher would do the same job and put the results in a $5 PC magazine.Why invalid?
Keep in mind that JPR makes this research for enterprises, not for gamers. You may not benefit, but someone surely does. :-)

I was not talking about the graphs. I was responding to the comment "AMD GPUs are rubbish". BTW AMD GPU share was 22% this time last year. Who cares about Radeons in top 5? Is not Amazon one of the top 3 online computer parts sales shops? If it included IGPs the share would be even higher as some of AMD's best sales are the 2200G and 2400G. It is obvious to me that you are someone that is biased against AMD for even mentioning the mindfactory. Oh well I guess I must be an AMD fanboy. So much so that I bought their stock at $4 when Ryzen was about to launch but who laughs hardest now, me at the stock at $31.25 per share. If that is not an indication of how well AMD is doing I don't know what is. We will always have those who think Nvidia is so much better than anything AMD has so is the 1060 faster than a RX580. Is the 5700XT slower than a 2070 (Not super)?
You don't need to have an AMD GPU to know that you'd be happier with something from Nvidia. That's why reviews and benchmarks exist.
Of course there have been no positive reviews for AMD GPUs :laugh: and in benchmarks if an AMD GPU gives you 120 FPS and NVIDIA gives you 130 FPS on a 60HZ refresh screen how does that translate to being better? Yes the 2080TI is 30% faster than the 5700XT in most games but it is also $1400+ dollars in Canada vs $500+ for the 5700XT so almost 200% cost increase for 30% more performance....that is a smart move indeed :D
This clown (1) says you will always be happier with Nvidia, and then (2) compares AMD to AIDS (and nvidia to the flu?!). Sorry I am just blown away by how logical and open-minded these arguments are...I love your sources count, but his don't. Again - brilliant brain right here arguing.
Also, for someone having over 900 posts on this forum, you're surprisingly bad at quoting. Please do it properly - it's hard to read your replies.Yes, a market-wide research of GPU sales "counts more" than looking at a single store that supports one's hypothesis.
Gaming notebooks are dominated by Nvidia.
This alone likely takes us close to the 5:1 on the Steam survey.
On top of that you have minor effects:
Mac's are AMD exclusive and hardly ever used for games.
AMD used to be more popular in poorer countries, where Steam is not used as much.
etc
Another fact is that those gains are taken from Intel. We're looking at Ryzen's success here more than anything else, and this has zero value wrt how GPUs are popular or not...
Also, Vega 10 mobile beats MX130 and nearly MX150, rivals DDR3 MX150 variants.
Vega 8 mobile beats MX130.Vega IGPs are not exlusive to desktop PCs.
Vega GL with Intel CPUs are not AIB PCI-E add-on cards, IGP with VRAM chip by MCM.
I just said that AMD's share is likely thanks to mobile.
What do you want...?How many laptops use AIB add-on cards? :o
Could you write another comment and rephrase what you wanted to say?
Because in that one there are just a few sentences - loosely connected with each other (let alone the thread...).
