The bar has been raised for chip makers with the introduction of
Intel's Ivy Bridge processors. The new Ivy Bridge chips promises
faster processing power and improved graphics, thanks to their
integrated graphics system. "This is in some ways an evolution and
a game changer," said analyst Jack Gold of J. Gold Associates. Five
Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the

Ivy Bridge Chip has functionally destroyed any reason to buy a
basic video card with its integrated graphics system. There is a
very small market of people who seek out high-performance graphics
cards, mostly comprised of "hardcore" gamers. The improved graphics
provided by the Ivy Bridge chips will likely satisfy the needs of
the average consumer.
"Ivy Bridge is continuing a downward spiral for graphics card
manufacturers that has been going on for a while now," said analyst
Jack Gold of J. Gold Associates. "Extreme gamers who want very
powerful graphics cards are in a niche market already, and it's
shrinking. That doesn't bode well for Nvidia, because their
graphics chip market is falling off faster than their mobile chip
market. For 95 percent of the folks out there, integrated graphics
will be what they want."
