TIBURON, CA (January 3, 2024)—According to a new research report from leading analyst firm Jon Peddie Research (JPR), unit shipments in the add-in board (AIB) market increased in Q3’23 from last quarter, with Nvidia increasing market share from Q2’23, while AMD increased market share year over year. Quarter to quarter, graphics add-in board shipments increased considerably by 37.4% and increased by 30.0% year to year.
Since Q1 2000, more than 2.27 billion AIBs, worth about $474 billion, have been sold.
The market shares for the desktop discrete GPU suppliers shifted in the quarter, as Nvidia’s market share increased from last quarter by 2%, and AMD’s share increased from last year by 7%. Intel, which entered the AIB market in Q3’22 with the Arc A770 and A750, remained flat, as the company has yet to gain significant traction in the add-in board market.
Quick Highlights
- JPR found that AIB shipments during the quarter increased from the last quarter by 37.4%, which is above the 10-year average of 15.4%.
- Total AIB shipments increased by 30.0% this quarter from last year to 8.9 million units and were up from 6.44 million units last quarter.
- AMD’s quarter-to-quarter total desktop AIB unit shipments increased 36.3% and increased 124.1% from last year.
- Nvidia’s quarter-to-quarter unit shipments increased 39.7% and increased 21.5% from last year. Nvidia continues to hold a dominant market share position at 81.5%.
“The graphics add-in board market enjoyed significant growth during Q3 2023, which is a reflection of two factors: the return to seasonality for the industry and a cleaning out and straightening up of the distribution channel over the past months,” said C. Robert Dow, analyst for Jon Peddie Research. “Sales might slow in the coming weeks as early adopters and gamers hold off on purchase as they look forward to new lines of graphics cards set to hit the market in early 2024.”
JPR has been tracking quarterly AIB shipments since 1987. Graphics add-in board volume peaked in 1999, reaching 114 million units when every desktop PC shipped with a graphics card. This quarter, 8.9 million graphics add-in boards shipped.
