Jon Peddie Research has published their year-end financial analysis of the major players in the PC Graphics industry, and found everything growing quite well: a 14% year-to-year growth.
Intel was the leader in Q4’09, elevated by Atom sales for netbooks, as well as strong growth in the desktop segment. AMD gained in the notebook integrated segment, but lost some market share in discrete in both the desktop and notebook segments due to constraints in 40nm supply. Nvidia picked up a little share overall. Nvidia’s increases came primarily in desktop discretes, while slipping in desktop and notebook integrated.
Also, this year saw a new category on the market: CPU-Integrated Graphics (CIG). While there are only a few offerings to think of right now (Tegra? Larrabee didn’t make it), it’ll continue to grow in coming quarters.
