AMD's CPU market share at 22.3% in 2009 Q1

That's a considerable 4.6-point share increase compared to the fourth quarter of last year, when AMD only commanded 17.7% of PC microprocessor shipments. Over the same stretch of time, IDC says Intel saw its own slice shrink from 81.9% to 77.3%.

More interesting still, IDC has published numbers for the desktop and mobile portions of the market. AMD reportedly grabbed 29.8% of desktop processor shipments in Q1—that's 3.8 more points than in Q4 2008. The underdog didn't do quite as well in mobile systems (its products only made up for 15% of laptop CPU shipments), but it still clawed back 4.7 points sequentially. Those gains probably reflect the success of AMD's Puma mobile platform as well as the new Phenom IIs on the desktop.
