I'd like to see the numbers for discrete graphics cards.

When examining just the desktop market, NVIDA reported a 5.4% gain to claim 67% of the total market.

Wow that's huge! :Q

NVIDIA is reporting its market share result. While its overall market share remained fairly steady with a .3% increase in Q1 2009. In looking at both mobile and desktop discrete graphics market share, NVIDIA increased to about 66% of the total market, up 3% for the quarter. When examining just the desktop market, NVIDA reported a 5.4% gain to claim 67% of the total market.

In conjunction with the graphics and the bolded part of the quote, I'd take the 67% report with a grain of salt. I also don't own shares in either AMD/ATI or nVidia, so long as they both are competitive to keep prices of video cards down, I'll be happy.

Is that marketshare figure for units sold or $-volume?

Marketshare by definition should be units sold.

Does anyone know if we are talking marketshare in terms of "units sold" or "revenue"?

The first link in this thread has a graph showing units sold.

Thanks for clarifying guys.

I get so use to seeing the term "marketshare" used incorrectly as revenue-share that its become a force of habit to always seek clarification anytime marketshare is stated without anything else on the graph/slide/article explicitly stating it is being used to communicate "units shipped".
