Jon Peddie Research shows add-in board shipments rose 10% sequentially and 6.6% year-over-year to 12.5 million units, defying the usual summer slump as buyers raced to beat price hikes.
Desktop graphics card shipments broke from their usual seasonal script in the second quarter, according to new figures from Jon Peddie Research. The market research firm's latest report shows add-in board (AIB) shipments reached 12.5 million units in Q2, up 10% sequentially from the first quarter and 6.6% higher than the same period a year earlier — a shipment level that HotHardware's coverage of the data characterizes as a four-year high for the desktop GPU segment.
The result defies well-established seasonality. As HotHardware notes, desktop graphics card sales almost always slump in the second quarter as summer approaches, making Q2 a historically weak stretch for the add-in board market. Jon Peddie Research's past reports have documented that pattern across prior years, which is precisely what makes this quarter's double-digit sequential climb and year-over-year growth stand out against the historical baseline.
The report ties the surge to timing rather than underlying demand strength: buyers rushed to purchase cards ahead of anticipated price hikes. That pull-forward dynamic matters for anyone tracking the GPU supply chain. When shipments spike because customers are buying early to lock in current pricing, the quarterly gain can borrow from future demand, leaving board partners and retailers exposed to a slower stretch once the buying window closes and the higher prices take effect.
For now, the numbers give the desktop GPU segment a rare up quarter. Whether the four-year-high shipment level reflects a durable recovery or a one-time rush ahead of higher prices will become clearer when Jon Peddie Research publishes its third-quarter data, which will show whether AIB volumes can hold their gains once the pre-hike buying impulse fades.
