Nvidia’s quarter, which straddles the calendar quarters reported revenues of $982 million for their Fiscal Q4’10 which is from September to the end of January. Their next quarter ends in April.

A new category – IPG

Q4’09 saw the first shipments of a new category, the Integrated Processor Graphics – IPG. With the advent of new CPUs with integrated or embedded graphics.We will see the rapid decline in deliveries for traditional chip-set graphics or IGPs (integrated graphics processors.) However for ease of reporting for now we’re including these devices in our Integrated numbers.
