PC AIB Shipments Follow Seasonality, Show Nominal Increase for Q4’24
June 6, 2025 | JPREstimated reading time: 1 minute
According to a new research report from the analyst firm Jon Peddie Research, the growth of the global PC-based graphics add-in board market reached 9.2 million units in Q1'25 and desktop PC CPUs shipments decreased to 17.8 million units.
Overall, AIBs will have a compound annual growth rate of -10.3% from 2024 to 2028 and reach an installed base of 130 million units at the end of the forecast period. Over the next five years, the penetration of AIBs in desktop PCs will be 86%.
As indicated in the following chart, AMD's overall AIB market share decreased -7.3% from last quarter, Intel's market share decreased -1.2%, and Nvidia's market share increased 8.5%.
The AIB overall attach rate in desktop PCs for the quarter increased to 151%, up 13.8% from last quarter.
The desktop PC CPU market decreased -14.5% year to year and decreased -20.6% quarter to quarter.
The first quarter is traditionally flat to down from the previous quarter. This quarter's AIB shipments were up from the 10-year average of 0.6%. This quarter's overall AIB shipments, including iGPUs, were up 8.4%.
“Although shipments increased—which would not be expected if the traditional seasonality cycle was restored—as the chart indicates, we’re still not back to normality, and the trade wars are unbalancing the overall market, further corrupting seasonality,” said Dr. Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research.
In Q1’25, AMD and Nvidia introduced new AIBs, which stimulated the market.

Is China Plus One Still Happening in the PCB Industry?
04/28/2026 | Manfred Huschka, Manfred Huschka Management Consulting (Shenzhen) Ltd.For much of the past five years, China Plus One has been shorthand for supply-chain diversification: reducing dependency on mainland China by adding manufacturing capacity elsewhere in Asia. In the PCB industry, however, in early 2026, it is more nuanced. It looks less like a clean geographic shift and more like a layered, capital-intensive rebalancing of global capacity, one that still leaves China deeply embedded at the center.
It's Only Common Sense: See Your Marketing as a Discipline, Not a Department
04/27/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhat does marketing mean to you? Is it a corner office with cool posters on the wall? Is it the person running your LinkedIn page or the trade show booth with the shiny graphics and the bowl of candy? Yes, marketing is those things, but it’s more than that. It’s a discipline, and if you treat it like a department, you’re already losing.
