Chou, president of AMD’s Taiwan branch, said that given the business boost AMD’s processor shipments worldwide this year are expected to reach 30 million units, climbing by 40% from 2000. is preposterous. .J. Chou, president of AMD’s Taiwan branch, said that given the business boost AMD’s processor shipments worldwide this year are expected to reach 30 million units, climbing by 40% from 2000.<<< If you can read english, I hope you would note that Chou was talking about the "business boost" or market share increases in the business segment, that increased by 40% from 2000, bringing chip sales up to 30 million. How about if I rephrase that sentence to make it easier for you. You will note that I will use the exact same words, just put one phrase earlier in the sentence. Then the sentence would read. .J. Chou, president of AMD’s Taiwan branch, said that given the business boost,climbing by 40% from 2000, AMD’s processor shipments worldwide this year are expected to reach 30 million units. There, can you understand the statement now? Now I realize the reporter shouldn't have written a sentence with two meanings, but, it really wasn't that hard to pick up that interpretation. According to Taiwan’s Institute for Information Industry (III), AMD will claim around 27% of the global processor market in the fourth quarter. Dataquest statistics also showed that AMD has seen significant share growth in both the home and enterprise sectors this year. In the small-size enterprise market, AMD’s overall share rose to 40% in the third quarter, while in the home markets in Japan and Western Europe, the figure reached around 50%. You will note that the reporter talks about the "small-size enterprise" market share boosts to over 40% overall, and 50% in Europe.
