The shipment volume of discrete graphics cards in Q2 2026 increased by 12.2% compared to the previous quarter
In the second quarter of 2026, global independent GPU shipments increased by 12.2% quarter on quarter and 14.1% year on year. Despite the overall weakness in the PC market and memory shortages that drove up costs, notebook GPU shipments surged by 16.8% quarter on quarter, offsetting a 4% decline in desktop GPU shipments. The total number of consumer PC GPUs shipped was 75.5 million, a 10.4% increase quarter on quarter. Intel led with a 56% share, followed by Nvidia at 23%, and AMD rising to 21% (a +7 percentage points year on year). The main reason for this growth may be the demand for gaming laptops and high-end mobile PCs; the specific details will be disclosed in JPR’s subsequent report on desktop independent GPUs.
