The search holding on the PC JPR components released its Latest market statistics for the last quarter of 2024 And, here, AMD has recovered a graphic market share of 7% of the Nvidia Leviathan. However, JPR provides for problems to come in the form of, Yup, you guessed it, Ye Olde Prices.
Now, before anyone who was excited by the prospect of dancing on the grave on the market share of NVIDIA game graphics, JPR figures show that the AMD increased by only 10% of the market in the third quarter 2024 to 17% in the fourth quarter. In other words, Nvidia remains completely dominant.
As for Intel, nothing has happened from nothing to nothing, marking 1.2% in the fourth quarter. THE New Intel B580 arc Launched only in mid-December, it is therefore not completely clear if this card came early enough to have an impact on these figures, but that probably would not have been much.
JPR also noted that “market demand for AIB (additional graphics cards) was higher than the supply, which was limited by the production of TSMC and underlined by the GPU request for AI”.
Therefore, the graphics market always works on lower capacities that you may historically pending. “We still don’t go back to normality, and prices will lower the global market,” said JPR.
The research attire also sounded a note of caution later in the year. “Then, in the second quarter, the prices will take effect, and although it is generally a quarter of decline, there could be an even more significant drop unless there are leftover horizon – this is one of the most difficult planning and forecast periods of all time,” said JPR.
Now, if you wonder why AMD has acquired market share, it is not because of these new RX 9070 and 9070 XT cardswho only I went on sale yesterday. It is more likely that the reason is that Nvidia had lowered the production and sales of its GPU RTX 40 but also had Still to present the RTX 50 family.
Thus, these figures concern more a temporary dip of Nvidia than indicative of returning things in AMD. This could still happen if the RX 9070 cards are doing well. But this is not shown in these quarterly results.
If you want to know how it all fits into the historical context, 3dcenter.org has a practical graphic AMD market display against NVIDIA until the end of 2002 and including the latest JPR figures.
You must return to 2005 to find a quarter where AMD (then ATI) had more market share than Nvidia. More recently, AMD experienced 35% to 35% in mid-2018. But this has been a progressive slide since then, the share of 10% of the Q3 being almost a lower of all time.
With all this in mind, it will be fascinating to see if these RX 9070 and 970 XT cards make all kinds of bump in Nvidia’s market share. They certainly seem to have been well received, in the meantime, the offer of all NVIDIA RTX 50 GPUs seems so tight, it certainly looks like an ideal occasion for AMD to continue to pinch the market share.
The Q1 2025 will also be interesting with regard to the GPU of Battlemage of Intel. Could it have had an impact? It seems unlikely since the B580 and B570 cards were also difficult to buy. But we will know it sooner.
