shares shifted for the big three, AMD, Intel and Nvidia, and put pressure
on the smaller three, Matrix SiS and VIA/S3, and still almost everyone
showed an increase in shipments as indicated in Table 2.

Table 3: Market share in notebook
graphics chips for Q4 2007 to Q3 2008
"The third quarter is seasonally up as OEMs place
orders for chips to build inventory for the holiday season. However, this
quarter was up more than any other for some time, and in spite of
suggestions of a recession that started last Q4," said Dr. Jon Peddie,
president of Jon Peddie Research in Tiburon California. "Desktops
increased seasonally and notebooks enjoyed quite significant gains."
Peddie notes that Q4'08 will be an
interesting quarter as AMD and Nvidia are not expected to release any more
new GPUs given the large number of introductions in the last three
quarters, and Intel and AMD have stabilized on their integrated offerings.
Further, says Peddie, although there was amazing growth in Q3 this year,
the gloom and doom scenarios are having their effect on business and
consumer spending plans, and while Q4 is usually the crescendo of the year,
it could well be flat (compared to Q3) this year.
