The report is about Discrete Graphics Card, 4% is nice but still long way to go. Ideally i would love to see the market share close to 50/50. I'm sure NVIDIA has some different ideas. :) Next year we will see Intel's Larrabee and that will change the situation a lot I think.

The quarter finally shows some AMD headway in market share
Since the summer of ’08, AMD’s Radeon-brand graphics AIBs began giving market leader Nvidia a much tougher run for its money. Despite its renewed competitiveness, however, AMD hadn’t yet seen a sustained growth in market share, as Nvidia adamantly refused to give up any volume, aggressively cutting prices as necessary to avoid a loss in share.
But as prices settled out and AMD got its RV770 GPU (and subsequent derivatives RV730, RV790, RV740) in place across the Radeon line-up, the company did finally see a meaningful tick up in market position. JPR’s tabulations show AMD’s unit share rising from 31% in the first quarter to 35% in Q2’09, with Nvidia declining four points to 64%.
