so, you know how there's been a lot of drama about gpu shipments and the whole chip crisis thing? well, it seems like things are actually holding up pretty well for now, at least according to some new market data. the numbers show that about 11.8 million pc graphics cards were shipped in the first quarter of this year, which is only a tiny bit down from the last quarter of 2025.



but, here's the thing - these numbers don't necessarily mean that all these graphics cards are actually being sold to consumers. it's possible that manufacturers are just stockpiling them in anticipation of a memory shortage, which would be kind of sneaky. so, we'll have to wait and see how things play out over the next few quarters to get a better idea of what's really going on.



one thing that's not looking so great, though, is amd's market share. according to the data, they're stuck at around 8% of the market, which is pretty dismal compared to nvidia's dominance. but, there's a bit of a caveat here - the numbers for amd were actually revised upwards from 5% to 8%, which is a pretty big change. and, apparently, the company that released the data has a history of making errors, so it's hard to know what to believe.



i'm a bit skeptical of these numbers, to be honest. i mean, we know that amd is doing okay in the gaming world, especially with their console sales and all that. but, at the same time, it's hard to imagine them only having 8% of the market share when they're doing so well in other areas. i guess we'll just have to wait and see how things shake out later in the year.Read more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
