There are several reasons why the sale of graphics cards has fallen. On the one hand, we have the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when virtually all manufactured hardware has been sold off. In addition, we have a sharp increase in the prices of graphics cards, making them inaccessible to most users.
Sharp drop in graphics card sales
The JPR report contains a lot of interesting data that lets us know how the market is doing. Not only fell the distribution of graphics cards, also that of processorswho fall and 35%. Why is this information given? Simple, a large number of processors integrate a discrete graphics card (dGPU) and of course this is a fact to be taken into account.
The report indicates that the calculation of global sales of graphics cards fell 38%. It is bombarded that they fell one 24% sale of graphics cards for desktop computers and in laptop a brutal fell 43%. We are talking about the worst situation in the graphics card market since 2011.
This report gives more interesting data. It is highlighted that AMD Ha downloaded In participation andn the fourth quarter of 2022 in a 0.4%. NOTTHEY SEE also increases in stake market, with 0.68% of improvement. Intel suffers from a fall of 1.1%, something quite remarkable.
It is highlighted in the report that in the fourth quarter of 2022, the distribution of graphics cards fell by 15.3% compared to the third quarter of 2022. Additionally, this is broken down. AMD suffers from a 12.7% decrease, Intel nail 16.5% decrease there Nvidia nail down 11.7%all these data refer to the variation between the third and fourth quarters.
In addition, the report tells us indirectly about the processors. Specifically, it shows that, from the fourth quarter of 2022 directly to the third quarter of 2022, sales fell by 15.3%. This is the worst CPU sales data in the past decade.
This market requires a fairly in-depth analysis
We saw during the pandemic how many computers were sold during the pandemic. Due to telecommuting, the demand for desktops and laptops has skyrocketed. At the same time, production was reduced due to a lack of personnel. This generated a sudden shortage of material, due to the increase in sales and the lack of production.
The situation is now reversed. Production increased, fully returning to normal, but demand fell. A drop in demand accentuated by the rise in the price of graphics cards. The increase in costs, both manufacturing and transport, generates a sharp increase in the cost of materials.
The fact that graphics cards are launched with surreal power consumption doesn’t help too much, to be realistic. But in the end, we are in a very complicated situation where graphics card manufacturers increase their income at the cost of plundering users. We’ll barely see a price drop, because they care about their numbers and how they’re on the stock market, not that you can buy a graphics card to play.
