Today the hardware market is in decline, inventories are piling up, and roadmaps are changing as a result. However, the current bad period is going to come to an end sooner or later, as usually happens in these cases, since the economy is completely cyclical. But, when will the boom year for the sector arrive? Will we have to wait long for it? How will AMD, Intel and NVIDIA react As for the price of graphics cards during the period before the recovery?
When a period of crisis occurs, companies have to ensure two things: not to lose market and continue earning money as before. All this is achieved by treating the different ranges in different ways. To begin with, launching cutting-edge products in the high-end range that have a higher perceived value for the user without raising costs. As for the medium and low ranges, the goal of all manufacturers will be to stay in the market without losing share.
NVIDIA’s dominance will continue unchallenged until 2025
The market, which has billed $42 million in 2022, is expected to have a steady decline first and then a recovery until 2025, when Jon Peddie Research estimates the market will bill $47 million. However, of the three companies, the one with the greatest ease in front of the next two years is NVIDIA, for a very simple reason, the AI boom has increased demand in the professional market and with it margins, but not only that, but thanks to the fact that they maintain a significant market share, they can remain healthy without hardly lowering prices,
Another case is AMD and Intel, we do not know what the future of ARCs will be like in terms of graphics cards, but we are very clear that AMD will try to devour the much-needed market share that it has needed for quite some time by offering graphics cards with lower prices. usual. Unfortunately, as we have said many times, NVIDIA wins due to the mental quota that they have achieved all these years. So the Radeon brand should be broken, but it does not seem that the pieces of the board are going to be overturned in terms of its marketing department.
In figures, it is expected that in the high range the capitalization will rise by 17% in the period between 2022 and 2025, while the mid-range would be the one that would decrease. And finally, if we are already talking about the entry-level range, it is expected that it will be the one that Intel takes advantage of to set foot in the market, taking advantage of the fact that it will be ignored by NVIDIA and AMD due to the low margins that this segment has, but it is that the blue mark needs.
A new generation by 2025?
Jon Peddie Research’s words about market developments make us wonder if they know anything and if we should expect NVIDIA’s RTX 50 and AMD’s RX 8000 to come out in 2025 instead of 2024, since an increase would make sense. in capitalization after the launch of a new generation of graphics cards. All this does not mean that the manufacturers are sitting idle and we should expect at least one review of the current generation. In any case, we’ll see how things will develop in the coming years.
