Intel's control of the global CPU market has increased even further
Market researcher iSuppli recently
released a new report indicating Intel's control of the gobal CPU
market has reached a four-year high during Q2 in 2009.
"Intel
benefited as the global PC market took a first small step toward
recovery in the second quarter, with global shipments rising by 1
percent from the first quarter," iSuppli analyst Matthew Wilkins
said. "AMD didn't benefit from the small sequential rise
in PC sales because its average microprocessor pricing was lower than
that from the first quarter."
During Q2 2009, Intel's
dominance
reached 80.6 percent, which is a slight increase from the 79.2
percent from the same time last year. The company saw CPU
market share gains across the board, with an increase in
desktops, servers, and notebooks. However, only notebook CPU
sales saw an actual sales increase from Q1, iSuppli notes.
Last
month, Intel raised Q3 financial numbers, with company officials
predicting an increase in overall buying trends.
Even though
Intel's marketshare increased, the global economy hurt overall CPU
sales, with global shipment noticeably lower than in 2008.
Despite the economy, Intel launched Nehalem for higher-end PCs
and servers, with Nehalem CPUs for four-socket servers on the way,
Intel said.
