Intel takes 60% GPU market share, Nvidia and AMD declining

Nvidia and AMD losing GPU market share to Intel

Sandybridge leads the charge in GPU sales

Can it be because of company's buying desktop for their users with intergrated GPU?

Agreed not good when one manuf dominates another, maybe with their new release CPU's they stand a chance.

Lol Edit my post I also read CPU and not GPU

It probably has a lot to do with the fact that when buying an Intel mobo the GPU is not exactly optional. Even if you put an Nvidia/AMD GPU into the machine, there's still an Intel GPU in there and not every machine needs high end graphics. In terms of marketshare, Intel wins by default. However if you need the machine to do more than flashy desktop effects, that's where Nvidia/AMD come in.

Gaming wise the picture is very much different, July's steam survey shows roughly 59% Nvidia, 33% AMD, 6.2% Intel (1.7% other).

this more revelant as every has said intel gives you a gpu onboard the motherboard
so for true reflection one need to remove those ones from pool as they aren't used

Isn't this kinda like saying Paint is a more popular graphics tool than Photoshop?

I think the only real difference in the market now compared to 10years ago is that Intel has taken the place of all the other entry level cards like all the VIA or SiG processors back in the day. No-one really cared about their 3D acceleration capabilities because if you actually needed that you got a proper card. On a laptop sure it's nice if your onboard Intel gpu can actually play some games but on a desktop machine I just don't see people saying "Hey that Intel GPU is a viable 3D processor".

Exactly what he said. I'm surprised this figure isn't higher to be honest. By far and away corporate/business is the largest user of PC's and let's be honest, probably 97% of those PC's don't need any kind of graphics really, cause the most they do is open Word, Excel, Outlook, Pastel and similar such apps.

My thoughts exactly when I saw the thread title. No one goes out and buys an Intel branded GPU on purpose!
