According to Jon Peddie Research, Intel controlled over 60 percent of the global GPU market in Q2 of 2011. The market was described as \u201csurprisingly healthy\u201d, with demand growing despite a predicted decrease. AMD and Nvidia both failed to capitalize on this growth, and Intel managed to secure an additional 6% of the total GPU market during this time.<\/p>\n
AMD was hit hardest, dropping from 24.7 percent in Q1 to 21.2 percent market share in Q2. Despite this, AMD still holds a handy lead over Nvidia, who fell from 19.9 percent down to 17.5 percent.<\/p>\n
Intel, on the other hand, went into Q2 with a market share of 54.7 percent and came out with 60.7 percent. Just over a year ago Intel was sitting with 52.9 percent of the global GPU market share.<\/p>\n
Of course Intel\u2019s recent surge in market share is due to the popularity of Sandybridge motherboards which feature onboard discreet GPUs, so it\u2019s not as if Intel is stealing high-end market share from AMD and Nvidia. What is more interesting, is that Nvidia and AMD lost market share to lower-end discreet GPUS.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is that Intel\u2019s discreet GPU solution is gaining significant traction, while the heavyweight high-end sector seems to be shrinking in proportion to the entire graphics card market.<\/p>\n
