AMD gains more traction as it moves towards its goal of 30% overall processor marketshare

AMD is seeing its fortunes rise in the enterprise market. The Sunnyvale company has expanded its reach with the help of Fujitsu and Hewlett-Packard by delivering clients not only to the United States Air Force, but also to the governments of Germany and Mexico. AMD expects 2006 to be a banner year as it hopes to double the number of corporate systems available.

AMD was able to gain 2.5 points of overall x86 marketshare during 2005 taking its total haul to 18.2%. The company hopes to achieve between 25% to 30% of the overall processor market by 2008/2009. The company is hoping to leverage its strong performance in the server arena to bolsters its efforts in other arenas.

Brent Shaw, AMD's Commercial Go To Market Team Director states: "As we look at the largest [corporate] customers in the world, 90 out of the top 100 companies in the world now have adopted...The charge has been led with servers, but we were starting to see, throughout 2005, a trend toward our client products as well."

Tell your mom Intel! AMD just stole your lunch money again!

I wonder if AMD can continue to beat the crap outta Intel during recess, once the new Conroe based server chips roll out.

What percent does intel have in this market? 50%? I'm sure Sun UltraSpacs have a decent percentage.

it depends if you talk about x86 marketshare and overall market share. intel does ship volumes, i think in x86 its around 80-75% market share, while overall cpu's it may be like 70ish.
