With an average of 10.6 percent across the server , desktop and notebook sectors, growth was 1.5 percentage points relative to the previous quarter and 3.1 percentage points year-over-year. The manufacturer is particularly strong in the segment of what we all love so much, the desktop PCs, where the market share increased from 12.2 to 13.0 percent. In the third quarter of 2017, the value was still 10.9 percent.

Also growing is the share of notebook processors that AMD put in 10.9 percent of the cases in the past quarter, according to the study. The growth to the previous quarter is therefore 2.1 percentage points, compared to the previous year, AMD even increases the share by 4.1 percentage points. Responsible according to AMD and the analysts is the growing use of Ryzen processors.
