It’s official, just about nobody is shopping for Intel graphics playing cards. Actually, the newest figures present that the Intel graphics market share for add-in-boards (AIBs) based mostly on its GPUs has successfully plummeted to 0%. On the identical time, the present king of the GPU limelight, Nvidia, has seen its market share improve to an enormous 88% in the identical sector.
Regardless of its finest efforts, Intel has thus far struggled to make inroads into the GPU market, with none of its present merchandise presently gracing our greatest graphics card information. Even so, these newest figures make for particularly bleak studying for Intel, as on the identical time in 2023 the corporate did at the very least command 4% of the AIB GPU market.
AIBs are these GPUs utilized in standalone merchandise, equivalent to graphics playing cards, slightly than them being built-in right into a CPU, for example. That’s why graphics card producers equivalent to Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI are often called AIB companions or board companions.
These newest figures come from Jon Peddie Analysis (JPR), which tracks gross sales of pc graphics merchandise worldwide, and these figures account for all discrete AIB merchandise, not simply gaming graphics playing cards. Within the graph under, you may see how Intel’s share of the market dropped from 4% to only 1% on the finish of 2023, to successfully 0% within the first quarter of 2024.
In the meantime, AMD’s GPU market share has stayed flat at 12% yr on yr, with a soar as much as 19% in between. That doesn’t imply AMD is promoting the identical variety of GPUs, although. JPR notes that AMD’s graphics card shipments have elevated by 39% yr on yr, it’s simply that Nvidia’s have elevated by 45.6% in the identical interval.
The figures are backed up by the newest Steam Survey on the subject of the GPUs players are utilizing. The survey reveals loads of Intel GPUs within the “all video playing cards” chart, however they’re all from built-in graphics techniques constructed into CPUs. None of them are from discrete graphics playing cards, such because the Intel Arc A770.
It’s not fully shocking to see Intel’s GPU market share dropping like this, although. The corporate’s Alchemist Arc merchandise are actually almost two years outdated, and we discovered they suffered from quite a few driver and compatibility points at first in our testing. Driver help has improved significantly since then, however this clearly nonetheless hasn’t been sufficient to make these first-generation playing cards a compelling purchase. As an alternative, Intel will likely be pinning its hopes on its forthcoming Battlemage GPU structure, which is predicted to supply an enormous efficiency improve.
We obtained our first glimpse of Battlemage within the new MSI Claw 8 AI+, which makes use of the brand new Intel Lunar Lake chip, with each merchandise being revealed at Computex. For extra of the newest from this tech commerce present, take a look at our Computex information hub.
