Advanced Micro Devices, the company better known as AMD is continuing to grow in
market share. This is what AMD said to its investors last week.
In Q2 2005 AMD
had 15.8 percent of the CPU market and 6 percent of chipset market. In Q2 2006 some
year ago AMD grew its CPU market share to 21.6 percent while the chipset
business increased to 6 percent.
The last
numbers for Q2 2007 just came in and they come from Mercury PC processor and
chipset report and according to it AMD now has 22.9 percent of the market while
the chipset business picked up to 11 percent.
The chipset
mainly increased due to acquisition of AMD as AMD 690 chipset was a big success
and CPU market share continues to increase as AMD average selling price of a
CPU went to toilet.
Now the
biggest task for AMD through remains of 2007 and for 2008 is to increase the
average selling prices of the CPUs but it do need more competitive products.
But it loses the money in Q2
