NVIDIA isn’t exactly living through its glory days and the company is more or less completely out of the market for Christmas. Next year has many interesting things to show though and especially notebooks looks to be on the rise. With Intel’s coming Calpella platform there won’t be any graphics circuits from Intel. When Intel baked the GPU into the Arrandale processor it left the field wide open for NVIDIA and AMD, where the former seems to be more efficient.
NVIDIA is said to have landed 80 percent of the design contracts that were out for bidding. In short this means that the majority of computers using the Calpella platform and discrete graphics circuits, I.e. where the integrated Intel GPU isn’t enough, will use NVIDIA technology.
AMD has its first mobile DirectX 11 GPUs coming, but these won’t be available until January and contracts for the Calpella platform have been signed long ago.
The remaining 20 percent went to AMD, which also has its own mobile platforms to care for with Vision.
