AMD steals share from Nvidia

Closing in fast

According to Mercury Research, AMD has managed to grab some market share from Nvidia in the first quarter of 2010. This comes as no surprise, as Nvidia was forced to delay its Fermi architecture by several months and even after the new cards launched they were plagued by poor availability.

AMD's graphics business gained 8.2 share points in the discrete market, for a total 42.1 percent share in Q1. As you might have guessed, Nvidia lost 8.2 share points over said quarter. In mobile graphics, AMD gained 9 percent and ended up with a 49.7 percent share.

In overall graphics sales, including the integrated GPU market which is dominated by Intel, AMD gained 2.8 percent. Nvidia dipped 4.8 percent and it can only hope that sales will pick up with the introduction of new DirectX 11 parts. However, it's quite clear AMD will keep breathing down Nvidia's neck over the next few quarters and it could even manage to surpass Nvidia's shipments in coming months.

Hmmm, those are some pretty substantial shifts, although it's not that surprising.

We almost have 50/50, that would be awesome. . . that just means devs will think twice about adding vendor specific features *cough*batman*cough*

Not if they get "paid" to do it. I'm sure if nV says they will spend the time/money/effort to put said features in, the devs are not going to say no.
