Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen AMD for the clue delivery to challenge the future! CTOnews.com8, March 13, the latest data from market research firm Mercury Research show that shipments of desktop processors in the second quarter of 2022 hit a nearly 30-year low, down more than 15% from a year earlier.

In terms of x86 processor market share, AMD's market share has increased to 31.4%, 3.7% month-on-month and 8.9% year-on-year, while Intel's market share has fallen below 70% for the first time, making the competition between the two companies more intense.

In the mobile notebook market, the share of AMD increased to 24.8%, up 2.3% from the previous month, and 4.8% from the same period last year.

In the server market, AMD's share reached 13.9%, an increase of 2.3% month-on-month and 4.4% year-on-year.
