Q1 GPU Industry: AMD and NVIDIA market shares are stable.
Friday 20th April 2007, 12:12:00 PM, written by Arun
According to DigiTimes, the market share numbers for the GPU industry released by Mercury Research are stable compared to Q4's, with NVIDIA and AMD moving from 29.1% and 24.3% to 29% and 24.1% respectively. Intel, however, managed to capture 38.7% of the market compared to 37.8% in Q4.
As this was released at the bottom of another DigiTimes news piece, no other information is currently available, but we can expect other websites to release more data based on Mercury Research's report in the coming days. It should be fairly obvious based on these numbers, however, that discrete graphics market share has remained largely unchanged.
One fairly important part of the numbers that is not highlighted in the article is that Intel's market share is growing more rapidly than AMD and NVIDIA's shares are shrinking. This indicates that the two other remaining players in the IGP market, VIA and SiS, lost even more of the market than their bigger competitors: their combined share shrank from 8.8% to 8.2%.
This contraction reflects these two companies' financial struggle in the last three quarters, and highlights that things don't seem to be getting any better for them either in terms of market share. Their quarterly numbers will be revealed in the coming month, which should be quite interesting as it might indicate how likely they are to survive on their own in the coming year, and how likely it is that someone else tries to acquire either of them.
