NVIDIA is starting 2025 strong with a 92% market share in the AIB GPU market, whereas the competition is down to single digits.

NVIDIA Leads 2025 With Massive 92% AIB GPU Market Share, AMD at 8% & Intel at 0%

The latest data comes from Jon Peddie Research, where the latest Q1 2025 statistics on the PC market have been published. According to the report, the AIB market reached 9.2 million units within Q1 2025, while desktop CPU shipments decreased to 17.8 million units. JPR states that the AIB market will have a compound annual growth rate of -10.3% from 2024 to 2028 and will reach an installed base of 130 million units by the end of this forecast period. During the next five years, 86% of desktop PCs will host an AIB or graphics card.

Looking at the AIB market share, NVIDIA’s share rose by 8.5% in Q1 2025, a massive uptick for the company, whose previous market share dropped to 84%. AMD’s market share declined by 7.3% to just 8% while Intel’s market share decreased by -1.2% to 0% in Q1 2025.

During Q1 2025, NVIDIA is the one with the most GPU launches as a part of its RTX 50 series, while AMD followed in late Q1 with its RDNA 4 lineup. Intel launched Battlemage B-series GPUs back in Q4 2024, but these two graphics cards, despite aiming at the mainstream segment, haven’t managed to drive share numbers for the blue team, or the second possibility is that their volume wasn’t significant enough to affect the market share.

As for the desktop CPU market, that decreased by -14.5% year-to-year and decreased by -20.6% quarter-to-quarter. While the first quarter is traditionally flat with a 10-year average of 0.6%, Q1 2025 saw a massive uptick of 8.4%.

Overall PC GPU Market

When talking about the overall PC GPU market, which includes iGPUs, it saw a decrease of 12% versus the previous quarter. The total PC GPU market reached 68.8 million units while CPUs fell to 61.9 million units. By 2028, the installed base of PC GPUs will hit 2.8 billion units while dGPUs will have a market penetration rate of 15%.

Looking at segments, desktop graphics fell by 16% while notebooks decreased by 10%. AMD’s overall market share decreased by -1.6%, Intel’s fell by -2.1%, while NVIDIA’s share increased by 3.6%. An interesting thing noted by JPR is that data center GPUs grew by 9.6%, which is mainly driven by the AI craze. Of the CPU share, desktop CPUs amount to 29% while notebook CPUs amount to 71% of the market share.

Steam Hardware Survey (May 2025) Analysis

We also wanted to take a look at Steam’s Hardware Survey, which provides some key insights into the gaming market. As of May 2025, the GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 4060 series GPUs remain the most popular among gamers on Steam.

The RTX 5060 Ti also popped up in the database in May, but the share is currently at 0.21%, which is a far cry from the 4060’s 4.44% and 3060’s 4.73%. It will take many quarters for the RTX 5060 series to show up in the top 10 positions.

 

On the CPU side, AMD has been clawing away at Intel’s share and currently sits at 40.31% versus the 59.69% of its rival. Intel used to be around 65-70% just a few years back, but AMD’s Ryzen CPUs have put pressure on Intel’s lineup, and the recent failures of Arrow Lake-S “Core Ultra 200S” have not been kind to them.

In terms of core counts, 6 and 8 core CPUs have become the new popular choice, amounting to a 30.67% and 24.01% share, respectively. These are followed y four core chips, which still amount to a 15.51% share, as many entry-level gamers tend to buy older used CPUs for their PCs, while high-core count CPUs with 10, 12, 16, and even 24 cores, are also showing respectable shares on Steam.
