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

Agreed not good when one manuf dominates another, maybe with their new release CPU's they stand a chance.
 
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!
 
Thread reminds me of oem market thing and X has Y% of Z :D

Clearly if larger user market was gamers and not corporates then picture would be different ;)

:edit
in our company we use dell and that's specifically nvidia + intel.

You make a valid point, i doubt true gamers will even consider a bolt on GPU as a viable alternative to a dedicated, i myself buy descrete motherboard if i can find them, and always have a dedicated GPU even if its a piece of junk and i aint intel fan anyway.
 
My friend has a Dell Inspiron N5100 with a nVidia Geforce GT525M and an Intel integrated graphics card. He has to turn off the Geforce while playing most of his games, as it causes them to crash, and he can play most of them on medium to high with the Intel integrated graphics.
 
Well 1st off...Bring me a Intel GPU that touches any of my cards, then I'll pay attention to that statistic.
Enough said.

Don't be stupid and expect something that cannot be yet. Integrated cards are getting better and that's that.

Then why compare the sale charts?

Another comparison/chart that doesn't reflect into it's publicized target audience. We are the gamers segment and not the oem or the corporate clients who will always take the larger % of the comparison when done on built and sold systems. Now wrap your head around that and reply if you must, but don't expect another one from me as it's really becoming as pointless as the comparison.
 
This flip side of this coin is, having on-board/integrated GPU which can actually play games decently, even if on low settings, will be good for the PC gaming industry because it dramatically expands the potential customer base.

If someone isn't a gamer then it's unlikely they would have spent money on a discrete GPU. Normally that would mean they wouldn't bother with games because they just couldn't play them BUT if they can dip their toe in the water with their current setup and decide "Hey I actually like playing games" they are probably more likely to get a more powerful GPU.
