NVIDIA Discrete GPU Market Share Dominance Expands to 94%, Notes Report

According to the latest report from analyst firm Jon Peddie Research, NVIDIA's discrete GPU market share has solidified its position in another area, now standing at the top with 94% of all AIB shipments in Q2 2025. This represents a 2.1% increase compared to the prior quarter, during which the company maintained an equally impressive share of ~92%. However, at the same time, AMD lost that 2.1% share, which suggests that all the AIB sales that AMD lost have been redirected to NVIDIA. The rollout of mid-range "Blackwell" GPUs has supported the gain of market share, now covering all budget tiers for every gamer. Meanwhile, AMD has only catered to the mid-range gamer with the RDNA 4 lineup, hence losing the possible high-end GPU purchase to NVIDIA.

While the rollouts of current GPU generations are now complete, we expect to hear more from Intel soon, which now holds a market share of less than 1% among AIBs. Overall, the AIB GPU market appears to be in a healthy state, with a notable rebound to 11.6 million units in Q2. Traditionally, the second quarter has seen lower seasonality, but this quarter's recorded GPU shipments were up from the 10-year average of 5.7%. An interesting tidbit from the report comes from Dr. Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research: "AIB prices dropped for midrange and entry-level, while high-end AIB prices increased, and most retail suppliers ran out of stock. This is very unusual for the second quarter. We think it is a continuation of higher prices expected due to the tariffs and buyers trying to get ahead of that."
