jpr Jon Peddie Research announced their research notes on estimated graphics shipments and supplier market share for the second calendar quarter of 2007. According to their estimates, NVIDIA made significant market gains during the quarter, while AMD and Intel saw typical results for the time period. The second calendar quarter is typically a fairly slow quarter for the computer industry so it’s interesting to see NVIDIA gain ground during this time period.

Total graphics shipments for the quarter was 81.3 million units – up three percent from last quarter and up 8.2 percent over the same quarter last year. According to Jon Peddie, NVIDIA was the clear winner in the desktop graphics business this quarter with 43 percent of units shipped compared to Intel’s 38.5 % and AMD’s 23 %. In the mobile market, Intel was the leader and grew slightly to 51.5 % while NVIDIA had 27 % and ATI had 21 %. Mobile chips continued to be a growth area for graphics claiming approximately 31.2 percent of the market with 24.5 million units overall (further proving the point that notebooks is where the money’s at in the PC industry these days)
