Have you ever wondered about the patterns behind GPU launches? I just stumbled upon a fascinating Reddit post that dug deep into the statistics of GPU releases over the past 40 years. The creator built a GPU database website and analyzed a whopping 2,803 models from 1986 to 2025.
So, what did they find? The peak year for GPU launches was 2013, with a staggering 190 releases. But here’s the interesting part: there’s been a significant slowdown in GPU launches recently. From 2021 to 2025, there were 23% fewer launches compared to the previous five-year period.
What’s behind this decline? Is it just a post-COVID supply chain issue, or a long-term shift in GPU release cycles? The data also reveals some interesting trends, like January being the busiest launch month, and the 1st of the month having the most releases overall.
If you’re curious about the details, the creator’s website has some amazing visualizations and analysis. It’s worth checking out if you’re into GPUs or just interested in exploring the world of tech trends.
So, what do you think? Is this slowdown a temporary blip, or a sign of bigger changes in the GPU industry?
