“L'utilizzo di GPU discrete AMD in sistemi notebook di nuova generazione potrebbe trainare la quota di mercato delle soluzioni Radeon”
The recent debut of the MacBook Pro solutions of Apple Intel architecture-based Sandy Bridge NVIDIA might imply a contraction in its market share in the discrete GPU, according to information published by Digitimes to this address .
According to information from manufacturers of notebooks the expected commercial success of Apple's MacBook Pro systems should allow AMD to gain market share. At present AMD with its family of solutions Mobility Radeon , is in fact the sole supplier of Apple for the discrete GPU Integrated systems not only
Apple MacBook Pro, however, for AMD: the American company has placed its latest mobile GPU, compatible with DirectX 11 API, even within the solutions developed by Sony to confirm how trade policies implemented by the American company AMD being rewarded in terms of sales of its GPU.
NVIDIA, however, sees good prospects for its mobile business. The notebook sales continue to grow numerically and remains high attention from consumers for discrete GPU that can be integrated into new laptops, especially when they are completely replaces a traditional desktop system.
On the other hand, it is undeniable that integration within the CPU subsystem video of valuable processing power, as in Sandy Bridge processors from Intel and AMD in the proposals of the Fusion family, both diminishing the market share of the IGP solutions integrated into the chipset and the impact of entry level discrete GPU, for in fact a gradual exit from the market as a notebook or desktop.
We must not forget also to the expected impact of NVIDIA solutions from sales of Tegra 2, which have raised much interest, especially among manufacturers of tablet solutions because of the good balance between performance, features, accessories and consumables.
