Integrated graphics will dominate the notebook market

A well-known analysis agency, iSuppli, released a report a few days ago that by 2014, four-fifths of laptops sold worldwide will use integrated graphics, and this year's ratio is only one-third. The reason for this trend is that Computer manufacturers are pursuing smaller, more innovative products.

iSuppli analyst Matthew Wilkins said that the explosive popularity of ultra-portable laptops and Apple iPads has caused the world to focus on modeling mini-innovative products. To develop such products, PC makers need to use high The integrated semiconductor chip solution reduces power consumption and heat generation, so that all components are put into a small-sized body. In this process, changing a discrete graphics card to an integrated video card will play a large role.

According to iSuppli's report, 39% of notebooks sold worldwide this year use integrated graphics, which will rise to 50% next year, 65% in 2012, and 82.9% in 2014. Of course, the performance of integrated graphics will gradually increase, providing basic 3D games. Ability to ensure at the same time at least HD video playback.

It is ultra-portable that promotes the market share of the integrated graphics card to rise. iSuppli expects that 90% of notebooks sold worldwide will be ultra-portable by 2014. The sales of discrete graphics PCs will drop from 73 million units this year to 2014. 62 million units in the year.
