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.

Discrete GPUs are another story.
And do you think Nvidia's shipment dont include their mobile GPU's, then you are wrong.
Good they both need to get with the program , more performance less cost please.
Hopefully some market battleing will happen now it's clear Super didn't pull the crowds.

Peddie Research provided us with more market share information, which
we added below. We also removed reference to graphics units present in
consoles, as the report only quantifies PC-based graphics units.
AMD Overtakes NVIDIA In GPU Market Share For The First Time Since Q3 2014 – Jon Peddie Research
better factual title
LOL @ Intel with 66% market share
Just because Intel is down, doesn't mean they didn't spank both other companies. If you are going to count integrated from AMD, then why not count them from Intel?
Just saying that this report and Steam hw survey counts a bit different use space and by that are not even very comparable. Their AIB board reports are more inline with what Steam tries to collect, but even with those are collecting different stats. Jon Peddie collect quantity of sold skus by quarters, steam collects it's user space hardware old and new...
And in speaking of AIB reports, AMD has raised quite bit market share on just released AIB board report, too. Great product with great price sell.
The reason why AMD beat Nvidia in this comparison is not their discrete GPUs (which are still rubbish and don't sell very well).
It's the fact that for the first time in many years AMD has a serious mobile CPU offer - all of which include an IGP.This comment likely being the dumbest of all.
Intel is obviously making their own IGP.
You meant the chips with Vega? They sell so few of these, they're not even noticeable in these statistics. And even then, I don't see why they wouldn't be counted as AMD's. Intel merely solders a Vega to a PCB.
AMD is not selling APUs? Seriously?
Mobile CPUs outsell desktop CPUs. AMD has ~14% share in the former and ~17% in the latter (Mercury Research 2019Q2). Which means it's very close to 50:50. That's even without Ryzen G.
I'll be curious to see how this changes going forward in the next year. Big RTX releases may chill enthusiasm for the 5700 line, or new console details confirming raytracing support could make potential AMD fans nervous about not being able to reach parity with consoles in multiplatform releases. Or maybe the average GPU buyer doesn't care and the superior rasterization value of the 5700 will keep people buying until a raytracing Navi can come out. Intel releasing a midrange GPU would cut into AMD's ability to be the value proposition. And who knows what would happen if Nvidia releases their own 7 nm products next summer. At least for now, AMD finally has an opening into the GPU market and not just from brand loyalists or Nvidia stock shortages. Let's hope they keep their R&D working on Big Navi and put a little more TLC into the drivers so people that do take a leap on the 5700 cards don't return them.

Either way they can get fucked at five and a half grand for 4 reports a year.
