Jon Peddie Research reports that the global client CPU market expanded for two quarters in a row in Q4 2024 and showed strong growth of 5%, and server CPU shipments increased 6% year over year. The overall PC CPU market increased by 7.8% quarter to quarter and by 4.6% year to year. Server CPU shipments increased by 6% from the previous quarter and were up 5.5% from the previous year; AMD slipped to 25.2% of the market.
The fourth quarter is typically up compared to the previous quarter. This quarter's total iGPU shipments, which include all client platforms, jumped 8% from the previous quarter and increased 4% over last year.
“PC CPUs’ growth was accelerated by enthusiasm for the AI PC,” says Dr. Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research. “The client PC market has now had two consecutive quarters of growth and appears to be following traditional seasonality trends.”

The new Q4 2024 edition of Market Watch will contain the above information and more. For easier consumption, we have changed the report's format from a heavily narrated version to a heavily charted version. We have also added server and client CPU shipment data back to Q1’21 and GPU-compute (GPGPU) shipment data back to Q1’21 for AMD, Intel, and Nvidia. We have expanded the pivot data array to include those devices.
JPR also publishes a series of reports on the graphics add-in board market, the workstation market, and PC gaming hardware market. The latter covers the total market, including systems and accessories, and examines 31 countries.
JPR’s Market Watch is available in an electronic edition; a single issue sells for $3,000. This report includes an Excel workbook with the data used to create the charts, the charts themselves, and supplemental information. The annual subscription price for JPR’s Market Watch is $6,000 and includes four quarterly issues. Full subscribers to JPR services receive TechWatch (the company’s exclusive access to daily news).
JPR’s Overview of PC Client CPUs and iGPUs report is available now for free for Market Watch subscribers and individually for $250. For more information, call (415) 435-9368 or visit the Jon Peddie Research website at www.jonpeddie.com.
