x86 Microprocessors Continue to Gain Market Share

jmke · 28th April 2008, 10:05

Revenue market shares of Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp., the two main producers of x86 microprocessors in the world, increased again in the fourth quarter of 2007, recently released figures from iSuppli market tracking firm show. The results are logical due to strong demand towards PCs in general and notebooks in particular as well as addition of quad-core microprocessors into lineups.

In the global microprocessor market – consisting of x86, RISC and other types of general-purpose devices – AMD in the fourth quarter grew its share by 0.3% over the third quarter of 2007, whereas Intel increased its revenue share by 0.2% points sequentially, according to iSuppli’s final fourth-quarter ranking.

In Q4 2007 Intel’s revenue share in the market of central processing units (CPUs) was 78.9%, AMD’s revenue share was 14.2% and other producers of microprocessors commanded 6.9% sales of chips.
