FYI, ATI does this every time.
Yet another reason why Nvidia have a much bigger market share.
Actually, they don't. In the AIB they switch back forth between 47-52%, and ATi still has a larger share of mobile and discrete chips (e.g. server boards).
All in all, when you look at all segments, Intel has more market share than both.
Whilst that was true for the first half of last year, ATIs market share has plummeted. In fact Nvidia have been shipping more discrete mobile chips than ATI, a market sector ATI had previously dominated (Nvidia now have 59.1% of the mobile graphics sector).
Q4 2006 figures showed Nvidia to have 31% of the desktop market (only just behind Intel who had 31.8%) and ATI 22.8%.
Nvidia have been doing far better in terms of increasing market share over the past year than any other manufacturer, all of whom have lost out to Nvidia (in the discrete GPU sector).
*edit* I don't get what you mean about "discrete chips (e.g. server boards)", that's not what discrete chips are, they are just not integrated. Any gaming machine will have a discreet GPU, many servers will not. It is the discreet market sector (which is the market sector gamers tend to be interested in) where Nvidia have done so well.
Who really cares about integrated graphics? They're rubbish. Yet they account for the vast majority of the maret share (somewhere around 3/4s I think). ATI do better in the integrated graphics segment than Nvidia, but Intel dominate it.
