Yesterday we examined the 2009 market for microprocessors .This time let us note the analytical report Of jon peddie research.
The delivery's volumes of graphic chips in 2009 grew by 14% in comparison with 2008. Almost no one expected this, since the market was located in the decline. In comparison with the fourth quarter 2008, the market for graphical solutions grew in the past block by 85.7%. The most impressive gain volume rates were in the realization of graphical solutions demonstrated by Intel company (114.7%), followed by AMD (91.5%) and NVIDIA (47.3%). Small players like Matrox, SiS and VIA/S3 in the past year lost both in the sales volumes and was inferior to competitor market positions.
For the last two blocks Intel was able to increase its market share for graphical solutions from 53.6% to 55.2%. The success comes from the sale of netbook and integrated chipset. The fourth quarter 2009 became the first in the history company period, when it achieved processor deliveries with the integrated video core. According to the forecasts Of jon peddie research, such processors will rapidly extrude traditional integrated chipset.
AMD lost market positions in the quarterly expression, after decreasing its portion from 20.1% to 19.9%, but it won in the annual expression - at the end of 2008 it occupied only 19.3% of market. The greatest progress was observed in the segment of integrated mobile graphical solutions. The segment of discrete video card both mobile, and desktop, in the case with AMD suffered due to the limited production volumes of 40 nm video chip.
Market share for NVIDIA was reduced from 25.3% to 24.3% for two last quarters, whereas in the annual expression loss were more influential - in the fourth quarter 2008 the company controlled 30.6% of market. The discrete mobile graphical solutions NVIDIA demonstrated an increase in the sales volumes , and here positions in the segment of integrated video core for desktop systems and notebook is lost.
According to the forecasts Of jon peddie research, in 2010 the market for graphical solutions will grow by 27.9% in the natural expression, and in 2011 the increase rates will be lowered to 10.2%.
