Intel's HD 3000 graphics solution is a market hit

Many people don't know that Intel is the biggest graphics solution manufacturer in the world. The foundry started making graphics many years ago and the GMA solutions found their way into many computers that didn't require an heavy duty graphics card.
With the launch of the HD 3000, Intel's market share jumped by 21% during Q2 2011 as many companies such as Apple thought it was performant enough to install it in mid-range computers such as the MacBook Air and the 13" MacBook Pro.
Unless you are a hard core gamer, that kind of graphics will be good enough.
