Comment Add-in board (AIB) market share figures for Q2 2024 are out and despite an uptick in overall sector shipments, relatively recent entrant Intel registered at zero percent.

The data compiled by Jon Peddie Research (JPR) reveals a significant surge in global AIB volumes, up 47.9 percent year-on-year to 9.5 million units and up 9.4 percent quarter-over-quarter from 8.7 million.

Yet since Intel introduced its first dedicated AIB – or graphics card – via the Arc Alchemist microarchitecture in March 2022, the company has seemingly failed to capture meaningful market share from either Nvidia or AMD, at least according to JPR.

Despite the surge in shipments driven by demand for datacenter, AI, and gaming workloads, Intel remains the odd one out. Nvidia dominates the AIB market with share at 88 percent, while AMD holds around 12 percent. the analyst placed Intel at 0 percent.

Nvidia units swelled 61.9 percent year-on-year and was up 9.7 percent quarter-on-quarter due to its chokehold on the AI and gaming sectors. In contrast, AMD edged up 3 percent year-on-year and grew 9 percent quarter-on-quarter on the back of steady demand in the mid-range AIB market.
