From http://mobile.eweek.com/c/a/Midmarket/Intel-AMD-Hold-Lead-on-Microprocessor-Market-Share-Report-654921/:
So AMD lost about 7% global marketshare in 2010, compared to 2009.
That's a 12% drop in YOY marketshare for AMD.
I imagine that fusion and Intel's SB chipset problems will show an improvement for AMD this quarter however.
AMD really needed to bring Bulldozer and Llano in on schedule this quarter, not 1-2 quarters later as is now the case..
In a year of major changes for the global microprocessor industry, one thing remained the same: leading suppliers Intel and Advanced Micro Devices in 2010 maintained their customary ranks in the market, research from IT analytics firm IHS iSuppli indicated. Intel finished the year with 81.0 percent share of global microprocessor revenue, up a scant 0.4 percentage points from 80.6 percent in 2009, allowing it to maintain leadership. Meanwhile, AMD ended the year with 11.4 percent share, down 0.8 points from 12.2 percent in 2009, keeping it in second place.
So AMD lost about 7% global marketshare in 2010, compared to 2009.
Fourth-quarter market data revealed no significant changes in worldwide microprocessor market shares as well. Intel accounted for 81.5 percent of global microprocessor revenue during the period, gaining 0.5 percent of share compared to a year ago in the fourth quarter of 2009. On a sequential basis, Intel gained 0.7 percent of share from the 80.8 percent it held in the third quarter of 2010.
For both sequential and year-over comparisons, AMD lost market share, with the greatest loss occurring relative to the fourth quarter of 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2010, AMD accounted for 10.9 percent of the worldwide microprocessor market by revenue, down from 11.4 percent in the third quarter of 2010, and down from 12.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
That's a 12% drop in YOY marketshare for AMD.
I imagine that fusion and Intel's SB chipset problems will show an improvement for AMD this quarter however.
