Despite recent Jon Peddie Research stating that Nvidia's sequential growth in the PC graphics market lagged behind both Intel and ATI, Nvidia is confident that its second-place position in the market (behind Intel) will remain secure this year, according to company president and CEO Huang Jen-hsun. Nvidia also posted a bullish outlook for the 3G application market and anticipates a partnership with Microsoft should spur its market share further.

Nvidia is still looking to see its graphics chip shipments increase 100% this year and it should rank as the second-largest player in 2006 on stable shipments of both graphics processors (GPU) and integrated chipsets, Huang said. He values the positive impact of Intel's sharp CPU price cuts to GPU shipment, though system chipset shipments may be sacrificed in the meantime.
