Global shipments of graphics processors plummeted in the fourth quarter of last year, a market research firm reported.

Shipments of the graphics chips fell by 28% in the quarter to 72.35 million units, compared with 100.5 million units during the same period a year ago, Jon Peddie Research said. Compared with the third quarter, shipments fell 35%, which was the first quarter-to-quarter drop in the fourth quarter in eight years.

A major contributor to the drop in the GPU market was the nearly 40% fall in shipments for desktop PCs, the research firm said.
