Intel Remains Dominant in Growing GPU Market, Claims 50% Market Share

Maybe a plethora of new must-have gaming titles has caused demand to spike, or perhaps the price war between AMD and Nvidia has sparked GPU sales. But whatever the reason, overall GPU shipments in the third quarter reached a staggering 111 million units, according to research and consulting firm Jon Peddie Research (JPR). That's up 22.5 percent from the 91 million units sold this time last year, and 18 percent from the 94 million units sold in the second quarter of this year.

"The third quarter is seasonally up as OEMs place orders for chips to build inventory for the holiday season," said Dr. Jon Peddie, president of JPR. "However, this quarter was up more than any other for some time, and in spite of suggestions of a recession that started from the fourth quarter last year."

The big benefactor in the booming graphics market is Intel, who increased it's overall market share to a dominant 49.4 percent, up from 33.4 percent one year prior. Intel rules both the desktop and notebook sectors with a 43.9 percent share in the former and a 56.2 percent share in the latter.

The biggest criteria in the United State’s recession are employment, income, industrial output, and sales figures. The peak time for income and employment were in December of 2007, industrial output peaked in January 2008, and then sales peaked in June. Congress, especially Democrats, weren’t exactly surprised, and called for a stimulus package. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) said that “The announcement simply makes official what we have long known: with rising costs, rising unemployment, record foreclosures and depleted savings, we must do more to help families make ends meet.” Not rolling over and granting the banks’ wish to ban payday loans would be a good idea, too. Bear in mind that economies work in cycles, booms and busts. The expansion that just ended lasted from November 2001 to December 2007, for 73 months. The record is 120 months, but most expansions last an average of 57 months since the end of World War II. For more info on Payday Loans, click the link.

their processors are doing well right now. Intel will put notebooks having their processors with their chipsets. 50% of the market then is stuck with crappy intel integrated graphics.

Intel also leads the charge in the desktop sector as well.  Apparently, there are a lot of builders/buyers content with "crappy Intel integrated graphics" over budget add-in cards.

"crappy integrated graphics" is exactly right. thats the reason my vista pc sucked so bad when i first got it was because of the "crappy integrated graphics". but hence the average user that buys this stuff is usually just looking for a porn box so it doesnt matter.
