NVIDIA make significant market share gains in traditionally slow quarter

NVIDIA are up healthily in terms of year-on-year market share for Q2, a quarter which is traditionally slow.

Jon Peddie Research reports the news in their latest First Look edition, which covers the graphics market in good depth. According to JPR, NVIDIA have a 26.48% share of the total market -- the figures include notebook, professional and desktop discrete -- and a 43% share for desktop last quarter, eclipsing Intel's IGP business by more than 4 points, and AMD's desktop graphics business by an even bigger margin.

Intel's position in notebook remains unchanged, with over half the market doing business with their IGPs, a share which is up to 31.2% of the total.

VIA, SiS, Matrox and the other marginal graphics players continue to have fluctuating fortunes, sometimes wildly compared to their respective total shares, with SiS losing 40% of the share they had this time last year, and Matrox jumping 30% in their little space.

Lastly, NVIDIA's year-on-year growth is a scarcely believable 82.9% across all markets, according to JPR, although when you remember it concerns all GPU shipments and you remember NVIDIA's execution in the last 12 months, it doesn't seem so crazy.
