The mobile graphics segment saw quarterly shipments decline just 0.2% and grow 31.2% year-over year.
Integrated mobile shipments fell 1.3% sequentially but grew 55.7% annually.
Discrete mobile shipments grew 3.0% during the period but fell 8.6% compared with the same period the previous year.
Discrete mobile was the only market segment to exhibit sequential growth during the first quarter, but was also the only segment to show a year-over-year decline in shipments.
JPR estimates that approximately 55.6 million desktop graphics devices shipped in Q1 2006, 34.6 million or 62.2% of which were integrated parts.
Overall, Intel claimed 34.1% of the desktop graphics market, ATI held 26.1%, and Nvidia followed with 23.3% market share.
Although Intel was the largest supplier of desktop graphics during the period, ATI widened its lead over Nvidia in the desktop segment as compared with the prior quarter on increased shipments of integrated graphics controllers.
In the discrete desktop segment, however, Nvidia grew segment share from 51.5% in Q4 2005 to 53.0% in Q1 2006.
ATI saw its discrete desktop share decline from 46.3% in Q4 2005 to 45.1% in Q1 2006.
JPR estimates that approximately 19.2 million mobile graphics devices shipped in Q1 2006, 14.1 million of which were integrated chipsets for notebooks.
Mobile IGCs claimed share of 73.5% in the mobile graphics market, down from 74.4% share in the prior quarter but up from 62.0% share in the same period a year ago.
Intel led the mobile graphics market with 53.3% share, ATI held 36.4% share, and Nvidia followed with 6.6% market share.
As on the desktop side, ATI expanded its overall mobile market share on increased shipments of integrated graphics shipments for notebook platforms.
In the discrete mobile segment, however, ATI saw shipments decline on a quarterly basis while Nvidia saw shipments increase sequentially.
Nvidia grew discrete mobile segment share from 20.3% in Q4 2005 to 25.0% in Q1 2006.
ATI's segment share fell from 79.2% in Q4 2005 to 74.6% in Q1 2006.
'ATI's desktop and notebook IGC shipments are growing steadily and providing a challenge to Intel in these segments', said Lisa Epstein, Senior Analyst at Jon Peddie Research.
'But Nvidia is in turn challenging ATI for more lucrative discrete graphics share'.
'Nvidia leads ATI in the discrete desktop segment and grew share in the discrete mobile segment by nearly five points in the first quarter', Epstein concluded.
Intel saw a 1.8% sequential decline in graphics shipments in Q1 2006, was the largest supplier of PC graphics devices worldwide, and claimed an increased share of the total graphics market during the quarter.
ATI remained the second largest supplier in Q1 2006 with a 1.9% sequential increase in shipments and increased market share.
Nvidia was the third largest supplier in Q1 2006, with a 4.3% sequential decline in shipments and increased market share.
