Pretty good effort, considering, and 2010 is expected to be a lot better yet.

This figure seems pretty meaningless. From what I can gather, this figure includes:
full systems i.e desktops, laptops, netbooks, etc,
motherboards with intergrated graphics e.g. intel Gxx and AMD xxxG,
discrete graphics card,
and Intels new i3 and i5 with the graphics chip built in?

It's not meaningless, it tells a lot about the market and likely profitablility when you see how much of the market essentially doesn't care about graphics and is quite happy with the basic bundled option that came built into their motherboard or CPU. It's all most users ever need (think business, your parents...).
