[HEXUS]

AMD gained desktop and mobile share last quarter - 1.6% overall which is actually a huge amount of swing in a quarter.

Yet intel gained a whole lot of graphics share....something seems a bit off? But then how many cpu's does intel sell that doesn't have graphics in them now? Not many. AMD is still selling off a lot of athlons and phenoms.

Because of the way JPR works it out, intel is always going to gain graphics share until it ends up close to the 80% it has in chips. Basically remove the 80 million+ discrete gpu's sold every year from that figure and you might end up with 65-70% "graphics" share for intel. They aren't gaining share in anything really, they are just selling the same number of chips as they were except the old chips without graphics are being replaced by ones with graphics in them.

Stupid stats are stupid. ALL of Intel's consumer CPUs now come with an IGP. Not all Intel systems make use of it.

And this is a fact to be proud about it ?

Thise people impose their graphic cores to the vendors
