ESS is hoping to broaden its market into higher priced markets with the addition of SACD support for its DVD products and by offering a development platform built by consumer electronics manufacturer Linn. The Linn Silver Disc Engine debuted at CES 2002. It combined Sony’s SACD capabilities with the ESS Vibratto. The SACD format, an alternative high quality audio format alternative to DVD Audio plays any disk including CD, SACD, Multi Channel SACD, DVD and DVD audio. It is expected that a great many next generation players will sidestep the standards battle and will support for both SACD and DVD Audio given the public’s relative unenthusiastic response to a technology change for music disks. As the reference design house for the Sony and ESS design, Linn will build two standard versions, a mid-market product and a high-end product. The kits offered to manufacturers will include loader, PCBs, and software and will be available in mid-202.

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.”
