AMD, Intel, NVIDIA Gain in Q2

JPR research has released its numbers for graphics and multimedia firms that are used as an indicator for the PC market. According to the firm Q2 was a good quarter for the companies and the channel is gearing up for robust back to school sales.

The average change from Q1 to Q2 over the last 8 years has been 0.83%. This year the change from Q1 to Q2 was 31.29%. Shipments jumped to 98.3 million units with Intel in the lead with 51.2% of the market, NVIDIA in second with 29.2% of the market and AMD in third with 18.4% of the market.

JPR doesn't expect things to return to normal levels until Q3 or Q4 2009 and we aren't expected to see 2008 levels again until 2010. The prediction for a much-improved Q4 stems from the fact that two major new operating systems are coming with Windows 7 and Apple Snow Leopard. Those will help push demand for new computers.
