AMD's Market Share Plummets Further
Print
AMD’s share of the processor market continues to plummet as the beleaguered chip maker is just not able to arrest the slide. AMD’s market share in the third quarter stood at 17.7 percent, down 1.1 percent from the previous quarter, according to a report by Mercury Research. AMD has ceded more than one-fourth of the market it held a year ago – its market share was 23 percent a year ago.
AMD has failed to guard its market share despite budget positioning – especially in the sub-$200 segment. AMD’s woes seem to stem from its “comparatively weaker mobile mix”. With notebooks now outselling desktops, AMD will have to quickly strengthen its notebook processor lineup, if it intends to cling onto its remaining market share.

into the perpetual abyss that they are in. However, AMD has been sliding steadily for more than 2 years - ever since Intel introduced its multicore processors.
