The first quarter did little to cheer vendors of workstations and professional graphics processing units (GPUs). While first quarters are cyclically down more often than not, Q1’15 posted workstation and professional GPU shipment numbers that fell substantially deeper than normal. Industry watcher Jon Peddie Research reported that the industry shipped approximately 912.4K workstations in Q1’15, equating to a sequential decline of 11.7% and a more modest 3.5% year-over-year decline. The professional GPU industry, primarily composed of the Nvidia/AMD duopoly, saw similarly glum results, with worldwide shipment total of approximately 1.014 million units in Q’15.

Photonic AI Processors Report
(Buyer will receive $500 coupon, good for 90 days, toward any other JPR AIP report)
Jon Peddie Research’s Photonic AI Processors report is a supply-side report; it covers the seven companies building photonic compute processors.
The Photonic AI Processors report defines photonic AI processors and how they are used. It
outlines the two distinct product categories that exist: photonic compute processors, where
light performs the arithmetic, and photonic interconnects, where light moves data between
conventional chips and replaces copper wires.
The report also contains information about the companies in this segment and their
technology and products.
While the companies covered in the main body of this report focus on classical photonic AI acceleration (matrix multiplication, inference, HPC), a distinct set of players is building photonic quantum computers that use single photons as qubits and linear optical elements to implement quantum gates and entanglement.
