Pentium III and Celeron, most of which also feature integrated video.
Since then, Intel has offered versions of both desktop and mobile chipsets with integrated graphics
and has become the world's largest supplier of graphics chips. This may sound strange because most
people think of NVIDIA and AMD (thanks to its ownership of ATI) when it comes to graphics.
Although NVIDIA and AMD may dominate in the high-end discrete graphics chip market, the market
for lower-cost desktop and laptop systems with integrated graphics is larger than that for discrete
graphics. Table 12.1 shows graphics chip market share data from JPR (Jon Peddie Research). These
figures include graphics integrated into chipsets and processors, as well as discrete graphics chips.

Table 12.2 shows the types and features for the integrated graphics available in Intel motherboard
chipsets over the years. Most Core i-series processors include on-package graphics, so that more
recent Intel chipsets no longer include integrated graphics support.
