  "account": "Desktop graphics card shipments for Q2 2026 reached a record high of 12.5 million units, according to Jon Peddie Research (JPR). This figure represents the highest quarterly shipment since Q1 2022, despite the fact that desktop CPU shipments were plummeting. The surge in GPU sales indicates that the market for standalone graphics cards for desktop PCs has remained resilient in the face of rising prices. Analysts suggest that gamers are anticipating even higher prices in the coming quarters, which may explain their willingness to purchase graphics cards before prices increase further. The industry shipped a total of 12.5 million standalone graphics cards for desktop PCs in Q2 2026, marking a 5.9% increase sequentially and a 7.8% rise year-over-year. This figure is the largest number of graphics cards sold in a single quarter since the first quarter of 2022, when 13.38 million AIBs were shipped.",
