Market of Graphics Adapters Collapses in Q1 2007

According to Jon Peddie Research, 78.8 million graphics adapters were shipped in Q1 2007, which is a 5.5% drop sequentially, but a 5.3% gain annually.

Intel remained the largest supplier of graphics adapters, however, even though its overall market share improved, its overall sales declined by about 2% - 3%. Nvidia’s shipments fell 5.7%, but its market share remained flat. Advanced Micro Devices not only faced 1.1% market share decline, but also saw its sales dropping by 10.2%.

Due to decreased sales of integrated graphics adapters for desktops, the rise of add-in-boards shipments and some other factors, Nvidia replaced Intel for first place in desktop market share, JPR claims.
