Integrated GPU, a future that is becoming mainstream

A study by iSuppli has revealed that half of the computers sold in 2011 will be integrated GPU, and there used to be dedicated as usual until recently. This includes desktops, notebooks, and is limited only to those sold during the year. The reason is simple. Manufacturers are developing more and more CPU with integrated GPU, and this also affects many more models come with these features to market.

This is a good thing for most users, as computers with CPU-GPU on the same chip offers performance unimaginable a few years ago, and more than enough for the average user. Obviously this is not just a study and may fail, but it is clear that CPU and GPU is the way forward for both desktops (which are the most reluctant) to laptops, and both in 2011 and in future years growth of these configurations will rise.

With its eyes a little further, by 2014 it is estimated that about 80% of computers include CPU with integrated GPU. Logically, the dedicated GPU will not disappear, because part of the user as needed and prefer the extra graphics performance they offer. Keep you informed. Meanwhile, do you think it will be the growth exhibited by the graph of the image? What is your preference, dedicated GPU or integrated? Track | Nordichardware.
