Caustic Graphics, a new 3D computer graphics company, launches today with a fundamental breakthrough in raytracing acceleration that is set to define a new era in professional 3D production and interactive consumer graphics. “Real-time raytracing has been the holy grail of computer graphics since 1979 — a dream always on the horizon but never within reach,” said Dr. Jon Peddie, of Jon Peddie Research, the computer graphics market research firm in Tiburon, CA. “Demos have been done with 16 or more processors, super computers, and other esoteric devices, but never anything that was within reach of a PC budget. Caustic Graphics has made the breakthrough with a combination of a small hardware accelerator and some very innovative software to be able to deliver real-time, complex, high-resolution raytraced images — this is an amazing accomplishment.”

GPU-Computing Market – Winners and Opportunities
The GPU-Computing Market Report is a supplemental report to Market Watch focusing on the data center
The GPU-Computing market continues to grow and is a bright spot in the industry with continued growth in revenue and unit shipments.
Deploying GPUs and virtual GPU software in the data center has become an effective way for enterprises to meet the challenges of larger, more complex workloads. These technologies offer advanced capabilities for AI, real-time ray tracing, and graphics that are essential for a variety of workloads, while reducing costs, space, and power requirements.
With the sudden surge in popularity of AI training, today’s GPUs, with their massive acceleration capabilities, have been generating a great deal of interest and experiencing a rise in popularity. The report dives into the background of GPUs as they have become an important element in AI deep learning, scientific computing, machine learning, and more.
JPR identifies the three major US companies that compete in the global GPU/AIB market—AMD, Intel, and Nvidia—and three indigenous companies that compete for the Chinese AI market (as a result of the US sanctions)—Biren Technology, MetaX, and Moore Threads. More detailed information on the Chinese GPUs/AIBs can be found in our GPU Developments of 2022 report.
While none of the companies release shipment data on their data center products, JPR estimates the market at 272,000 add-in boards (AIBs) in 2022 and 230,000 in 2023. This was based on revenue reports, product classifications, adjacent shipments (servers), and experience. It’s worth noting that the 2022 shipment numbers were inflated by the large number of GPU-compute AIBs Intel made for the Aurora supercomputer and AMD made for the Frontier supercomputer.

The workstation market in Q4’22 contracts further in Q4’22, due to influences both within and beyond the market
The third quarter of 2022 marked the end of exuberant growth in the workstation market, and based on Q4 results, the decline — or perhaps better put, a return to normal and sustainable marketplace — is not over. All told, the market saw around 1.84 million workstations shipped, representing a 23.8% YoY drop and a 9.3% sequential decline. The quarter’s performance suggests some complex dynamics playing out in the market, viewed both from the perspective of internal market trends as well as external economic forces.
“The fixed workstation segment sputtered after a promising rebound in the waning days of the pandemic, dampened in part by the imminent refresh of Intel’s Xeon platform,” JPR Workstation Report author Alex Herrera explained. “Meanwhile, the mobile workstation saw an inevitable decline after several quarters of unsustainable pandemic-induced gains. And both segments are seeing some, varying degree of preemptive belt-tightening as all businesses wrestle with the “will it or won’t it” question of a possible near-term recession.”
