NVIDIA continues to dominate the professional graphics market

NVIDIA continues to dominate the professional graphics market Although AMD first released the DX11 graphics workstation professional graphics card, but in this field, NVIDIA still occupies an absolute dominant position, market share is also a full seven times the opponent.

Jon Peddie Research statistics show that in the second quarter of this year, global desktop, mobile professional graphics card total shipments of about 1.3 million, workstation shipments of 79,500 units, an increase of 32%, an increase of 9.6%.

NVIDIA Quadro captured 87.5% of this share, and increased by 2.2 percentage points. The remaining 12.5% ​​belonged to AMD FirePro. Desktop. AMD gained a 0.9% share with a new batch of new products, but still only 11.4%. AMD’s share in the field is slightly more, but NVIDIA’s momentum is even stronger.

JPR Senior Analyst Alex Herrera pointed out that NVIDIA’s professional market performance in the second quarter was quite unusual because its new architecture of Fermi Quadro was not released until the end of July, and the same new generation of AMD FirePro was released worldwide as early as April and May. This means that NVIDIA still gained a larger market in the quarter under the premise of relying on the old architecture and professional cards.

In addition, NVIDIA also insists on investing heavily in professional graphics add-on tools to maximize the value of the Quadro family of solutions. Although the performance of AMD products is also rapidly increasing and professional software certification is becoming increasingly widespread, workstation users still generally prefer NVIDIA Quadro.

No wonder Huang Renxun will say that he is not afraid of competition in the professional graphics market.
