ATI’s AMD Chipset Market Share Skyrockets Thanks to a number of contracts with large computer makers, ATI Technologies has managed to capture 27% of AMD-compatible chipset market. By contrast, the share of NVIDIA Corp. fell tangibly due to the absence of low-cost AMD64-compatible platforms with integrated graphics. “It was a bit surprising that ATI could take a massive 27% share of the AMD chipset market with the introduction the RADEON XPRESS 200-series chipsets in just one quarter,” said Andrzej Bania, a representative for ATI Technologies in London, UK. AMD processors-compatible chipset market accounts for 13% of the whole core-logic market. NVIDIA currently commands 35% of the market, down 20% from the previous quarter, according to data by Mercury Research. ATI commanded 27% of the market in Q2, up from virtually nothing in Q1 2005. VIA Technologies and Silicon Integrated Systems share the rest 38%. “We currently have no competitive [AMD64 chipset] product with low-end integrated graphics, the market where ATI has gained its share,” an NVIDIA spokesman told X-bit labs. ATI also managed to moderately improve its shipments of integrated chipsets for mobile computers and now commands 15% of portable integrated market. By contrast, Intel’s share is down 2.5% to 79%. SiS and VIA control 2% and 4% of the market respectively. Despite of massive loss in AMD-compatible chipsets market, NVIDIA’s overall chipset market share is 6%, down 1% sequentially, whereas ATI’s share is about 3%, according to Mercury Research. The world’s largest chipset maker is Intel Corp. NVIDIA Corp. is currently gearing up to launch its C51-series of chipsets with integrated graphics for entry-level computers, which will offer competition to ATI’s RADEON XPRESS 200-series products. In addition, the firm is expected to introduce a core-logic for Intel-based value computers later this year. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/chipset...728214355.html |
