Dell, Inc. (Round Rock, TX) has struggled a bit of late, with financial scandals, a shifting channel strategy, and slipping market share (not to mention the increasing flakiness of my Lattitude D520!).

Now there is good news. According to Jon Peddie Research, the workstation market at large grew 17% compared to last year. For Dell the news was better. The Austin-based giant has been number one it seems ever since Kaypro, Obsourne, and Eagle Computer went out of business. In recent years its lead has been threatened by HP (of course buying Compaq instantly doubled HP’s market share). This last quarter Dell moved back into command with over 42% market share.

Meanwhile in an older survey, Jon Peddie Research found NVIDIA to be on quite a roll. While Intel still has the biggest market share overall in graphics processing, NVIDIA is gaining fast.

In fact, the company has the biggest market share in desktop computing with 43%, but has little more than half of Intel’s share in mobile computing.
