Sources at laptop makers told DigiTimes that NVIDIA's marketshare may decline in the first half of this year as the company's graphics solutions are no longer used by Apple's recently released MacBook Pro lineup.

Although the initial shipment volume of the MacBook Pro was not large, the sources believe AMD and Apple cooperation may be expanded to other product lines in the future and should benefit AMD's market share in GPU market.

Despite Nvidia has regained 60% of market share in desktop discrete graphics card market, AMD has been achieving strong result from the notebook market, in addition to Apple MacBook Pro, Sony has also recently adopted AMD's solution into its new notebooks.
