When AMD brought the end of last year, the new DirectX 11 architecture 'Evergreen' on the market, it seemed to go straight up for the Canadians. Apart from light delivery problems, it was a dream, the affordable mainstream models also contributed their part in this. Due to the late appearance of Fermi Nvidia cards, the Green Party has lost heavily on shares, which is why AMD is back for the first time for several years at the top of the discrete graphics solutions.
If one believes the firm Mercury Research, the 51% of all sales of graphics chips came in the last quarter of AMD / ATI, while 49% were produced by Nvidia. For comparison: Last year at this time had AMD / ATI had a market share of 41%, so Nvidia was, according to Adam Riese to 59%.
However, looking at the entire graphics market, Intel plays as the largest supplier of integrated graphics solutions is a very important role. This is precisely why Intel has been represented with 54.3% in the last quarter, because especially in public institutions are no discrete graphics cards needed.
The remaining shares are divided into 24.5% for AMD / ATI and Nvidia for 19.8%. Anyone who wonders what happens to the remaining 1.4% is the words that sell small manufacturers such as VIA or SiS few units.
Here, too, of course, the comparison to last year, there are ATI had to be content with 18.2%, while Nvidia was able to look down with pride on 29.6%.
This evolution to a more harmonious graphics market for us is very gratifying, it usually means a break-even price and good competition. The GTX 460 should soon bring fresh wind into the business and therefore we are already looking forward to the next quarterly report!
