ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES INC ("AMD-BHDNPX3")
- Makes Major Annual Market Share Strides In Commercial And
- Consumer PC Markets Worldwide
AMD's Focused Commitment to Commercial Sector Pays Off with 40 Percent
Share of U.S. Small Business PC Market
AMD announced it has posted impressive year over year market share
gains based on shipments for both the commercial and consumer markets
worldwide, according to the Gartner Dataquest quarterly report for the
third quarter of 2001.(a)
Most significantly, AMD gained ground in the U.S. commercial sector,
securing 40 percent of the small business PC market in the third quarter.
Additionally, AMD processors accounted for more than half of all processors
shipped to the Japanese home desktop PC market, as AMD captured 54 percent
share, up from 24 percent one year ago. And in Western Europe, AMD grabbed
49 percent market share of processor shipments targeted for the home
desktop PC market, an increase from 25 percent one year ago. All figures
reflect Windows(R)-based desktop market segments.
"AMD has taken significant strides in improving its market share
position from one year ago, most notably on the U.S. small business front,
and in the home markets in Japan and Western Europe," said Ed Ellett, vice
president of Marketing for AMD. "More recently, in sequential quarter to
quarter figures, AMD managed to defend its market share position, despite a
stagnant PC market and in the face of intense competition.
"AMD's strategy is paying off. We are maintaining our traditionally
strong presence in the consumer market, while simultaneously gaining
acceptance as a serious commercial player," Ellett continued. "Today's
introduction of our AMD Athlon(TM) MP processor 1900+ and the AMD-760(TM)
MPX chipset poises us for even better penetration of the commercial space."
In the overall U.S. market, according to Gartner Dataquest, AMD
experienced considerable PC processor market share growth, from 17 percent
in the third quarter 2000 to 27 percent in the third quarter 2001. AMD
increased its share in all Windows(R)-based desktop market segments,
including the small, mid-size and large business, government, education and
home markets.
In the U.S. government sector, AMD had 33 percent share. AMD also
doubled its presence in the U.S. education market, capturing 18 percent
market share, up from 9 percent one year ago. AMD continues to vigorously
pursue opportunities to bring reliable and stable platforms to business,
government, and education end users.
AMD has also been honored for its commitment to and innovation for the
mid-size business market, capturing three consecutive wins for Best of Show
at the Gartner Midsize Enterprise Summit event. AMD's product portfolio
provides the reliability, stability, compatibility, manageability and
performance required by IT managers and enterprise users.
