Observers Expect Hybrid Processors to Command Notebook PC Market

@ 2010/08/12
Even though the market of discrete graphics processing units (GPUs) for notebooks recently started to come back rapidly, analysts from iSuppli believe that eventually microprocessors with built-in graphics engines will take over the notebook PC market. Such chips, which AMD calls accelerated processing units (APUs), will allow to create smaller and more power efficient products.

In 2014, 82.9% of notebook PCs will use such microprocessors, up from 39% in 2010, as computer makers seek to offer smaller and more innovative products, according to iSuppli. Rising sales of these microprocessors is expected to have a negative impact on sales of standalone graphics chips, with the worldwide market for discrete graphics devices for PCs declining to shipments of 62 million in 2014, down from 73 million in 2009.
