According to the research firm, the second quarter "showed some much-needed consistency in the market, adding more evidence that demand has bottomed and a recovery is in the offing." Workstation vendors shipped a total of around 602,100 systems worth $1.16 million in the second quarter, up from 576,700 shipments and $1.11 million in revenue in Q1. The fourth quarter of last year had seen 764,300 workstation shipments and $1.58 million in revenue.
Average selling prices actually rose by half a percent in Q2, as well, despite having fallen 7.1% the quarter before. JPR attributes the mostly flat growth to "stabilizing demand" and the launch of Intel's Xeon 5500-series processors.
