• Total AIB shipments decreased this quarter, from the previous quarter by 17.3% to 14.5 million units (see Table 1).
• Nvidia continues to hold a dominant market share position at 64%; in Q4’12, AMD shipped 4.98 million units, and Nvidia shipped 9.5 (see Figure 2).
• Year to year this quarter AIB shipments were down 10% from 16.1 million to 14.5 million units.
• Almost 37.3 million desktop PCs shipped worldwide in the quarter, an increase of 2.7% compared to the previous quarter (based on an average of reports from Dataquest, IDC, and HSI).


Desktop PC shipments up 2.7%, AIBs down 17.3%

Only 39% of desktops now have discrete graphics cards.

Ninety nine percent of Intel's non-server processors have graphics, and over 67% of AMD's non-server processors contain integrated graphics

[..]

At least one and often two GPUs are present in every PC shipped. It can take the form of a discrete chip, a GPU integrated in the chipset or embedded in the CPU. The average has grown from 1.2 GPUs per PC in 2001 to almost 1.4 GPUs per PC.


Intel gained GPU share this quarter: from 60.0 to 63.4%.
