The personal computer market nVidia appears not too good because of the delay the emergence of architecture Fermi, however, at first glance, this position pays the manufacturer for the professional market. Given the revenue from sales in the sector of professional video cards, nVidia did everything right. Up to 35% of income nVidia comes out of this market, which is almost twice as much as 18% of revenues from the supply of chips for graphics cards of the family GeForce.

Third in importance for nVidia are embedded solutions, which account for 12% of income, but even with that built-in solutions and GeForce graphics cards are sold in much larger quantities, prices and profits from the series and other professional Quadro solutions are much higher. Compared with the professional graphics cards, annual sales of discrete graphics chips and integrated graphics in about 20 and 50 times greater, respectively.Nevertheless, the average price of a professional graphics card in the 7-8 times higher than the price of discrete GPU.

By the end of this year, the margin of a professional card nVidia, according to analysts, will be about 58%, which is explained by the development of nVidia architecture Fermi, which is very effective for applications GPGPU. Controlling more than 85% of the market of professional graphics cards, nVidia can thank for this family of Quadro. Even if the manufacturer is not a long time to market for new products, there is little reason to write off.
