NVIDIA GPU Market Share Drops

Although NVIDIA's share price has recently performed well, and has won Apple's next-generation Macbook, Macbook Pro notebook GPU orders, the outside world also expects Tegra3 eventually have a good performance in the second half.

However, according to the brokerage FBR market research report, NVIDIA's basic GPU configuration market share has dropped from 17% to 15% in the past 18 months. The system developed by brokerage FBR tracks the 143 PC system CPU and GPU configurations of the five major PC manufacturers' websites on a quarterly basis.

The brokerage FBR market research report also showed that NVIDIA’s market share in scalable GPU configurations has also declined, from 45% to 41%.

In addition, both Intel SandyBridge and AMD Llano platforms are rapidly expanding their share of the GPU market and affecting the survival of independent GPUs. Because, the GPU functionality and performance in these platforms have improved significantly.

The brokerage FBR market research report believes that if Intel takes away 10% of the market share from the independent GPU market, it will cause NVIDIA losses of 200 million U.S. dollars.
