According to Jon Peddie Research, shipment of discrete graphics cards for desktop PCs increased to 9.5 million units in the second quarter of 2024. However, only Nvidia benefited from the higher demand for standalone GPUs for desktops as it continued to dominate the market. By contrast, sales of AMD Radeon add-in-boards (AIBs) stagnated, and so did market share, whereas the share of Intel's Arc dropped to around 0%.
GPU sales for desktop PCs totaled 9.5 million units in the second quarter, up around 9.4% sequentially and 48% year-over-year, according to JPR. Traditionally, shipments of standalone AIBs stagnate or drop in the second quarter compared to the first quarter, but that wasn't the case in 2024, as graphics card shipments increased, defying normal seasonality.
