Global PC graphics processor shipments climbed to 76.6 million units during the third quarter of 2025, marking a 2.5% sequential rise, according to Jon Peddie Research. Standalone graphics cards posted particularly strong gains, surging 10.7% compared with the same period last year, while notebook graphics grew more modestly at 1.4%. Central processor deliveries reached 65 million units, advancing 2.2% from the prior quarter.
AMD captured additional ground in both segments, expanding its graphics presence by 0.9 percentage points as Intel and NVIDIA each surrendered market position. The chip attach rate climbed to 120%, reflecting increased graphics capability across the PC ecosystem. Industry observers attribute the tepid quarterly performance partly to manufacturers holding back launches ahead of anticipated first-half 2026 introductions.
Intel continues dominating overall graphics with a 61% share, trailed by NVIDIA at 24% and AMD at 15%. Desktop processors account for 30% of central processor volume, with portable systems claiming the remaining 70%. Analysts expect holiday promotions could energize fourth-quarter results before next year's product refresh cycle begins.
