By 2012 it will have ceased to exist

By 2012 it will have ceased to exist, replaced by graphics embedded in the processor. Peddie calculates that 67% of the graphics chips shipped last year were IGPs. In 2011 the number will drop to 20%, and by 2013 it will be less than 1%. The first embedded graphics processor will be Intel's Westmere due in Q4, followed by AMD's Fusion processor due in the second quarter of 2011, both on a 32nm process. For a period of time between 2010 and 2012, he says, there will be three choices for graphics available: traditional discrete GPUs mounted on add-in boards and/or the motherboard, integrated graphics processor (IGP) chipsets, and processors with embedded graphics. One or more of these devices will be employed in PCs.
