This just in from Digitimes.

"ATI and Nvidia continued to dominate the desktop GPU market in the second quarter, but with a shift in relative positions," said Lisa Epstein, a senior analyst at JPR. "Nvidia has lead ATI in the discrete desktop segment for four consecutive quarters. However, with the launch of its flagship Radeon 1900 series and improvements in segments, ATI was able to regain lost segment share in Q2’06. The delays ATI experienced in bringing its latest generation GPU technology to market also assisted Nvidia in growing share during the period," Epstein concluded.

Currently desktop graphics market shares look like this:

Intel: 35%
NVidia: 24%
Ati: 23%

Does anyone have a sensible explanation for the quite significant difference between this report and the preliminary one?
