Yesterday JPR came out with some results of NVidia’s Discrete Market share, making note of their loss to AMD and Intel’s Sandy Bridge. Several sites quickly jumped on to proclaim the death of NVidia, but some new data from Mercury Research shows this is just the usual ebb and flow of the market.
This loss of share partly reflects NV’s decision to exit the integrated chipset market, but it’s also an ominous sign of things to come. Sandy Bridge and Llano, once fully launched, will threaten NV’s price points at the low end of the market. Intel’s Ivy Bridge could mount a fresh challenge against NV’s low-end bastions by the end of the year, while AMD’s Llano is rumored to be significantly faster than Sandy Bridge’s GPU.
