Re: First - you define 21% as "almost 25%"

AMD was pleased to announce that it sold 7.7 million PC CPUs last quarter (Q2).

Intel mumbled something vague about some markets being up 6%, which amounted to "over a million units" and didn't dare release any sales numbers. That would put the only claim Intel dared to make as "over 16.7 million units" (what a million is 6% of).

In the previous quarter, with 7.4 million units in sales, AMD had about 22% of the market (market = 33.6m). Every source claimed total PC sales were down a couple percent this quarter, so market = 33m yet AMD sales were up to "over 7.7 million". So AMD share is up to 23.4% if that's 7.71, to 23.6% if that's 7.79 - in a context that compares it to 5%, that's almost 25%.

AMD went from 5% of the market in 1997 to close to 25% of the market at present. Considering that they have since invaded Intel's notebook market, they are probably solidly over 25% at this point.

You may wish AMD only had 21%, you may pray AMD only had 21%, you may bellow and squeal that AMD only had 21%.

But they were approaching 25% as Q3 began, and with their current notebook push, have almost certainly passed 25% by now.

Up from 5% 4 years ago.
