New JPR market reports, covering Q4'06

Wednesday 21st March 2007, 04:04:00 PM, written by Rys

JPR have sent along short summaries covering Q4 2006 for the professional workstation graphics and add-in-board markets. Highlights include commentary on the migration of 8-series GeForce technology down from the high-end into the mid-range, and HP gaining ground on Dell's dominance in the professional workstation market.

Here's a snippet from the JPR AIB Market Report Q4'06:

Despite ending ’06 on a sour note, the big two graphics add-in card vendors have reasons to be optimistic in 2007, thanks to Microsoft’s Vista. Vista was fully released in January, and while Vista isn’t the obvious upgrade that XP was over Windows 98, most buyers of new PCs will choose Vista and also be a bit more likely to choose a higher performance add-in board over integrated graphics.

You can find that report in our JPR section, here, with the JPR Workstation Report Q4'06 available here.
