AMD back among top ten semiconductor suppliers
AMD is back in the saddle. After dropping out of the top-10 semiconductor supplier rankings and slipping into 12th place last year, AMD will emerge in ninth place this year, according to a round of preliminary numbers by iSuppli.
The market research firm has compiled a complete scoreboard showing this year's predicted top-20 semiconductor suppliers, their revenue, and how their performance compares to last year's. Behold:

AMD isn't the only one to have gained ground—STMicroelectronics and Hynix did, as well. That said, iSuppli expects only one of the companies in the top 10 will actually achieve revenue growth in 2009: Samsung, which is sitting steady in the number-two spot.
iSuppli believes the semiconductor market as a whole will see a 12.4% revenue decline compared to 2008. As bad as that sounds, it actually beats the 20% drop the firm predicted earlier this year. Also, sequential revenue drops only took place in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009. iSuppli notes that semiconductor sales "rebounded smartly after that," growing by more than 18% in both Q2 and Q3. The firm expects fourth-quarter growth to amount to 5%.

Seems nVidia still playing it, now to find out how long before intel drags them to court over this.

Just look at the 2nd image, so true.seem like nvidia is really hurt..

Yeah, but than you won't be able to use the IGP as X58 has no video out.

That's Intel's point of view, but we all know what you will get^^
What the point of getting Clarkdale and then using IGP....!

Dual power mode I guess... Future drivers are expected to allow switching between graphics processing units WITHOUT rebooting the system and perhaps for reducing power consumption your HD5870 could be turned off when idle and control transfered to CPU.

Intel Drops Larrabee GPU Plans
Intel has announced that it will dump its plans to launch discrete GPU codenamed Larrabee. As of now, both AMD and Nvidia will be happy to hear that no consumer version of Larrabee graphics chips would be out. Intel spokesperson Nick Knupffer justified this move by stating that Larrabee's silicon and software development was lagging behind than where it was assumed to be at this point in the project.

My pleasure buddy
BTW, either use a signature or don't post links that looks to be signature - coz it's kinda spamming.
========================================================
BTW, Just wondering - Intel makes all that great high performing cpu's but why they always completely suck in GPU department ?? - May be they still were not able to hack some good gpu engineers from the big two gfx giants
