Helping design and engineering professionals discover, evaluate and specify technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable success.
Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.

Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
The PC GPU market sequentially increased by 0.6% in Q2'19, decreased year-to-year by -10.4%. This is the latest report from Jon Peddie Research on the GPUs used in PCs. It is reporting on the results of Q2'19 GPU shipments worldwide.
AMD shipments increased 9.8%; NVIDIA was flat and Intel's shipments decreased -1.4%.
Even though there is uncertainty in the notebook supply chain, there has been a record number of new notebook announcements, and systems with notable specifications in performance, battery life and screen resolution, according to the report. Specialized notebooks that sit somewhere between workstations and enthusiast PCs are arriving on the market for creative professionals. Strong graphics subsystems are an important selling point for these machines.
In seasonal cycles of the past, overall graphics shipments in the second quarter are typically down from the previous quarter. For Q2'19, it increased 0.6% from last quarter and was greater than the 10-year average of -2%.
This quarter's shipments of total graphics processors (integrated/embedded and discrete) increased 0.6% from the previous quarter, which is a decline in the 10-year average historical rate of 0.9%. A total of 76.7 million units were shipped in Q2'19, which decreased by -8.93 million units from the same quarter a year ago indicating the market is negative on a year-to-year basis.
AMD's overall unit shipments increased 9.85% quarter to quarter, Intel's total shipments decreased -1.44% from last quarter and NVIDIA's decreased -0.04%. The attach rate of GPUs (includes integrated and discrete GPUs) to PCs for the quarter was 120% which was down -10.38% from last quarter.
Discrete GPUs were in 26.95% of PCs,down -1.99% from last quarter. The overall PC market increased 9.25% quarter to quarter, and increased 3.07% year to year. Desktop graphics add-in boards (AIBs) that use discrete GPUs decreased -16.62% from last quarter.
Q2'19 saw a decrease in tablet shipments from last quarter. The second quarter is typically down from the previous quarter; however, this quarter saw an increase.
GPUs are traditionally a leading indicator of the market, since a GPU goes into every system before it is shipped, and most of the PC vendors are guiding optimistically for next quarter, an average of 13%, the research group reports.
