Nvidia dominates the global chips market for artificial intelligence (AI) with a fee that during the last three years has oscillated between 80 and 94%, according to Fourweekmba. Your leadership is supported by A very competitive hardware and a software ecosystem in which CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) It has an essential role. This technology brings together the compiler and development tools used by programmers to develop their software for NVIDIA GPUs.
Most of the artificial intelligence projects that are currently being developed are implemented on CUDA, and replace it with another option in the projects that are already underway it is a problem. Huawei, who aspires to an important portion From this market in China, it has Cann (Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), which is its alternative to CUDA. AND Moore Threads and Cambricon Technologies They have muse and neuware respectively. Even so, the competitors of Nvidia will cost them a lot to break the leadership of Cuda.
Nvidia has distributed 94% of GPUs for market games
During the second quarter of 2025, 11.6 million graphics cards for PC and 21.7 million processors for desktop computers have been distributed throughout the planet, according to the US consultant Jon Pedie Research. By themselves these figures do not tell us just anything, but they acquire the relevance they deserve if we consider that they indicate that the distribution of graphics cards has grown by 27% and that of CPUs 21.6% compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Distributed units allow us to train a very precise idea about market behavior
It is important that we do not overlook that these figures quantify the distributed units, and not the units sold. However, there is a direct correlation between them, so the distributed units allow us to form a very precise idea About market behavior. Anyway there is a fact that is even more shocking than all we have collected so far in this article: NVIDIA has distributed no less than 94% of GPUs for market games during the second quarter of 2025, again according to Jon Pedie Research.
AMD has been forced to settle for 6% of the distributed units, and Intel does not even appear in the report of this consultant because its presence is anecdotal. So are things in the graphic hardware market for PC. One more note to conclude: the rebound of distributed units of graphics and processors for PC during the second quarter of 2025 against the first responds in all likelihood to the need for stores and users to supply before Tariffs approved by the US government They entered into force.
