GPU Industry Witnesses Increase of 2.4% in Shipments During Q4 2015
Fourth Quarter marked the end of the year 2015. The year saw introduction to several graphics processing chips from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Starting off, NVIDIA launched their GeForce GTX 980 Ti, GeForce GTX 980 (Mobility), GeForce GTX 960 and GeForce GTX 950 along with a couple of other mobility chips. AMD launched their Radeon 300 series lineup which had several graphics cards ranging from the Radeon R7 360 up to the R9 Fury X graphics card with HBM memory.
During the same year, Intel shipped their Skylake CPUs with Iris and Iris Pro graphics chips which are some of the fastest integrated graphics chips available on a main stream processor. In the same department, AMD released a line of Carrizo based laptop SOCs which were powered by their own GCN architecture which is specifically an integrated chip which is based on the foundation of their discrete graphics core. There was tons of action in 2015 and we have the numbers in to tell how well did the three GPU vendors fared in Q4 compared to the previous quarter and last year.
Highlights for the Fourth Quarter of 2015:
AMD’s overall unit shipments increased 5.16% quarter-to-quarter, Intel’s total shipments increased 0.73% from last quarter, and Nvidia’s increased 8.41%.
The attach rate of GPUs (includes integrated and discrete GPUs) to PCs for the quarter was 139% which was up 0.59% from last quarter.
Discrete GPUs were in 31.28% of PCs, which is up 1.34%.
The overall PC market increased 2.01% quarter-to-quarter, and decreased -10.27% year-to-year.
Desktop graphics add-in boards (AIBs) that use discrete GPUs decreased -4.87% from last quarter.
14% Decrease in GPU Shipments and 9% Decrease in Discrete GPU Shipments Compared to 2014
So while the industry saw a good increase in shipments in Q4 2015, the market didn’t perform nearly as well compared to last year. Compared to Q4 2014, the total GPU shipments were down 14% and dGPU (Discrete GPU) shipments were down 9% in Q4 2015. The situation was same with the notebook market which saw 17% decrease in shipments. Regardless, the GPU market has seem to made a steady foot in the industry that doesn’t gets affected a whole lot with a slow PC market.

Those market share numbers are stupid though, the discrete market is a totally different one to integrated (which every single Pc on the face of the earth ships with these days)

Agreed and it would be sweet to know exactly how many GPUs were sold for both AMD and NVidia. Reading the article and seeing a decrese for both AMD and NVidia for 2015 over 2014 shows that people have settled for what they already own to me and not overly fussed by the performance increases of 2015's GPUs.

https://www.jonpeddie.com/press-rel...gpu-shipments-increased-2.4-from-last-quarter

AMD’s shipments of desktop heterogeneous GPU/CPUs, i.e., APUs, for desktops decreased 4.3% from the previous quarter, AMD’s shipments were up 30.3% in notebooks. Desktop discrete GPUs increased 6.69% from last quarter, and notebook discrete shipments decreased 1.3%. AMD’s total PC graphics shipments increased 5.2% from the previous quarter.

Intel’s desktop processor embedded graphics (EPGs) shipments increased from last quarter by 6.1%, and notebook processors decreased by -1.7% increased 0.7% from last quarter.

Nvidia’s desktop discrete GPU shipments were down -7.56% from last quarter; and the company’s notebook discrete GPU shipments increased 34.2% increased 8.4% from last quarter.

Total discrete GPU (desktop and notebook) shipments increased 6.57% from the last quarter and decreased -7.01% from last year. Sales of discrete GPUs fluctuate due to a variety of factors (timing, memory pricing, etc.), new product introductions, and the influence of integrated graphics. Overall, the CAGR from 2014 to 2017 is now -4%.

Ninety nine percent of Intel’s non-server processors have graphics, and over 66% of AMD’s non-server processors contain integrated graphics; AMD still ships integrated graphics chipsets (IGPs).

TLDR - AMD gained desktop dGPU marketshare over Nvidia and Nvidia gained notebook dGPU marketshare from AMD and Intel.
 
What a loads of nonsense Intel dont sell GPU's on their own. Its so high because of the CPU sales you cant seperate the two. Same with AMD how much is that figure inflated due to CPU/GPU sales.

Look at the decrease in laptop dGPU sales from AMD - its less than the jump Nvidia have made in laptop dGPU sales from AMD.

It means,that there has been a decrease in Intel systems shipping with Intel IGPs ONLY,as now some of them have come with an additional Nvidia GPU.

AMD have gained desktop dGPU sales from Nvidia.

Its all in the report if you read it LOL.

Seems AMD are selling a lot more APU based Laptops, its a small decrease in Laptop dGPU's. AMD don't sell many of those anyway, 10,000 - 1.3% is 9,870.

AMD’s shipments of desktop heterogeneous GPU/CPUs, i.e., APUs, for desktops decreased 4.3% from the previous quarter up 30.3% in notebooks. Desktop discrete GPUs increased 6.69% from last quarter, and notebook discrete shipments decreased 1.3%
