Q2 decline of 15.2% in the market alone is still leading NVIDIA

According to the analysis conducted by market research firm Jon Peddie Research, the discrete graphics market was affected by the economic downturn in the second quarter of 2011 and the rising share of CPU cores in integrated graphics, and shipments dropped significantly. Compared with 19 million in the first quarter of 2011, it dropped by 15.2% to 16.1 million.

However, the decrease in the share did not change the market share of the two giants NVIDIA and AMD. The market share of NVIDIA alone remained at 59% (59.1% in the first quarter), and AMD rose by 0.1 percentage point to 40.6%. (40.5% in the first quarter), other manufacturers such as Matrox and S3 that have not introduced new products for a long time occupy the remaining 0.4%.

Jon Peddie Research expects sales of discrete graphics cards to be $13.8 billion in 2011, a decrease of 33% from the same period last year.
