The graphics chip market grew in the second quarter of 2013 by 4.6 percent, while the PC market has shrunk by 2.5 percent in the same period. This emerges from a analysis [1] of the U.S. market research firm Jon Peddie Research [2] (JPR). It is one of the built-in processors, and seated on a graphics card GPUs, but not those in smartphones and tablets.
The reason for the growth sees Jon Peddie mainly in the interest of PC and laptop users to continue to use dedicated graphics cards rather than to be content with sitting in combination processors IGPs. In comparison the graphics market compared to the PC market, however, broke, but only half as much (-6.8 vs.. -11.2 Percent).| market share Q2/2013 | market share Q1/2013 | market share Q2/2012 | |
| AMD | 21.9% | 20.6% | 22.7% |
| Intel | 62.0% | 61.1% | 62.0% |
| Nvidia | 16, 1% | 18.3% | 14.8% |

A closer look at the numbers that AMD [3] paragraph of CPU-GPU combo processors for desktop PCs decreased by 9.6 percent (see Q1/13), while formally exploded in the notebook sector (+47.1 percent). A similar but much weaker trend is noted notebook GPUs with Intel’s [4] (-1.4 / +12.1 percent). The pure GPU sales increased by 10.9 percent or 6.2 for AMD and Intel. However bad it looks from the company Nvidia [5] , which surrendered 8 percent less GPUs in the second quarter. Consequently, their market share slipped from 18.3 to 16.1 percent. <- AUTHOR MARKER DATA BEGIN -> <-! RSPEAK_STOP -> ( mfi [6] )
