Graphics take a hit in 09 – come blazing back in 2010

In a new report from Jon Peddie Research, they predict that while GPU chips are suffering pretty big decline right now, they’re going to come back big next year.

The decrease in shipments for 2009 will be even worse than the 2000-2001 recession. However, 2010 promises an amazing comeback.

They attribute the surge to the booming GPGPU market being fueled by CUDA & OpenCL, along with DirectX11 making a push with the release on Windows7.
