AMD started with almost 0 market share in the laptop space. Most if not all their previous mobile processor were lacking in performance and runs very hot, as compared to what Intel offered back then. But since Intel dropped the ball, AMD did not waste the opportunity to show that they are viable and more budget friendly solution. Performance may not be as good, but they may still be an alternative. So Intel’s monopoly of laptop is weakened, which means people may now consider an AMD based device, and not an Intel only decision.
