Intel's market share in PC graphics approaches 40 percent

Tiburon (CA) - Shipments of mobile and integrated PC graphics showed strong growth in 2004, according to a report released today by Jon Peddie Research (JPR). While ATI was able to overtake Nvidia, the clear winner of the year was Intel, increasing its already leading market share by another six percentage points.

JPR estimated that a total of 239 million PC graphics devices from eight suppliers shipped in 2004, which translates into a 10.1 percent increase over 2003. Desktop graphics shipments grew at a modest 6.9 percent year-over-year while mobile graphics shipments climbed 25.2 percent during the period.

The growing popularity of IGCs dramatically boosted Intel's already dominating market position in the overall graphics market. The firm's share climbed from 31.3 percent in 2003 to now 37.5 percent and distanced ATI and Nvidia, according to JPR. ATI and Nvidia at least officially are not too concerned over this trend, but it is obvious that Intel's strategy to move from low-end into performance graphics with its products is paying off.
