Advanced Micro Devices has set another record for itself in terms of x86 processors market share by supplying 23.3% of all chips thanks to increased shipments of AMD Turion 64-series of microprocessors for mobile computers. Intel Corp. has already gained market share, particularly in the server space. At the same time, market shares of companies like Transmeta Corp. and Via Technologies have tumbled.

In the third quarter of the year Intel’s market share increased to 76.1% from 73% in the prior quarter, whereas AMD commanded 23.3% of all x86 microprocessor shipments, up 1.3% from the prior quarter and the highest market share for Austin, Texas-based chipmaker ever, according to figures released by Mercury Research.
