ATI accounted for more than half of the world's shipments of standalone, or discrete, graphics chips during 2004.

ATI, Nvidia and a host of others, including Via Technologies and Silicon Integrated Systems, also sell chipsets with built-in graphics. However, when it comes to standalone graphics chips--the other main category in PC graphics--ATI had the greatest number of shipments, according to Mercury Research. Standalone chips for desktops and notebooks are either soldered directly to a PC's motherboard or paired with memory on an add-in graphics card. Intel does not sell standalone graphics chips, leaving that market to ATI, Nvidia and several other smaller companies, such as XGI Technology.
