GPU shipments have increased by 20% this quarter

According to data collected by Jon Peddie Research, GPU shipments have increased by 20.4% this quarter, with AMD, Intel and Nvidia all showing increased GPU shipments. In JPR's quarterly report AMD was found to have shipped 15.38% more GPUs, with Intel shipping 17.70% more GPUs and Nvidia shipping 39.31% more GPUs than last quarter.

Nvidia's massive increase in GPU sales is likely due to the release of their mobile series of Pascal GPUs, which offered some exceptionally high-performance enhancements when compared to their Maxwell Mobile products.

In JPR's marketing data it was also shown that Discrete GPUs were used in 34.84% of PCs, which is up 7.06% compared to last quarter, showing an increase in demand for both gaming systems and workstation PCs which require GPU acceleration.

Below is a table showcasing the change in GPU market share, which includes both integrated and discrete GPUs. Compared to last quarter AMD has decreased market share by 0.6% while Intel's market share has decreased by 1.6% with Nvidia gaining 2.2% market share.

AMD's discrete desktop and laptop GPU sales are up 34.7% and 23.0% respectively when compared to last quarter, though AMD's APU shipments for notebooks were down 10%. In all AMD's GPU shipments were up 15.4% compared to last quarter.

On the Nvidia side, desktop and notebook GPU sales were up 39.8% and 38.7% respectively, with total GPU shipments up 39.31% in total. This is the largest amount of GPU sales that Nvidia have has in their history, explaining the companies share prices being at an all-time high.

AMD's loss in market share is a very misleading figure, as both companies have increased their GPU sales significantly. Nvidia's GPU sales increase has been astounding, though a lot of this success has been coming from the HPC market, rather than the PC gaming market.
