John Peddie Research -GPU market up -Intel and Nvidia graphics winner in Q4, AMD down

[Andrew LB]

Man... AMD got crushed. What a dose of reality to everyone claiming that nVidia was finished because of Mantle.



Quick highlights:

? AMD?s overall unit shipments decreased 10.4%, quarter-to-quarter, Intel?s total shipments increased 5.1% from last quarter, and Nvidia?s increased 3.4%.

? The attach rate of GPUs to PCs for the quarter was 137% and 34% of PCs had discrete GPUs that means 66% of the PCs are using embedded graphics.

? The overall PC market increased 1.8% quarter-to-quarter, but declined 8.5% year-to-year.

These researches are ambiguous.

Example. If you have a PC with a Intel CPU + Intel iGPU and a AMD dGPU, Steam Hardware Survey sees only the Intel iGPU. It's a tweak of Intel drivers.

What about this, from that same site? See year by year. Hmm, 1.8% increase in discrete shipments seems to be an awfully small increase when the R9 290x has been out of stock many many times. Has AMD been having a supply problem since the start of the 7xxx series?

Working at a IT distributor that offers full selection of computer components, we represent many brands for our country (being one of 3 official representatives of AMD for my country) I can tell you most definitely yes, and not only with GPUs, CPUs too. The whole channel is a mess, from marketing to supplies, and this has been going on since the begining of 2013.

Someone owes me a cookie ... :D

Demand is there but supply is very bad. I had to wait for 3 weeks to get a 280x so decrease in amd is not that unexpected.

[Ace123]

What would that be for? I feel like you mean to claim something.

[kromosto]

Me?

AMD's mobile offerings have been abysmal compared to Intel integrated platforms or Intel platforms with Optimus. AMD still has nothing that competes with mid to high-range Intel mobile CPUs. Welcome to 2007.

Crushed? Where? Trolling?

[zanzabar]

they should really not count on die graphics. everything that ships out with an intel chip that is not a work station or server has intel graphics now.

Man... AMD got crushed]

AMD got crushed in the notebook market:


AMD’s shipments of desktop APUs (heterogeneous GPU/CPUs) jumped 15% from the previous quarter but declined 26.7% in notebooks. AMD’s discrete desktop shipments increased 1.8%, and notebook discrete shipments declined 6.7%. The company’s overall PC graphics shipments decreased 10.4%.

AMD got crushed in the notebook market:

yes but if they have a better supply in desktop market this decline would be less.

[Fottemberg]

Some thoughts:
- according to JPR desktop PCs Market declined of 6.1%, but AIB device shipments grew of 3%. Why?;
- because this research includes Tablet devices, non only PCs, and AMD has not SoC for this market;
- so? This research is pure bull:banana::banana::banana::banana:, imho.
