Chipmaker Intel is still way, way ahead as the
global chip industry leader, followed by Advanced Micro Designs (AMD),
which appears to have lost ground.
According to research by Isuppli, Intel had an 81 per cent share of
the global microprocessor market last year, up by 0.4 per cent. That
might not sound like much of a increase, but when you consider the
overwhelming dominance Chipzilla has that's still a pretty good year.
It is still a two-horse race, but the nag in second is falling behind
as AMD's 2010 share of microprocessor revenue fell by 0.8 per cent to
11.4 per cent. Intel's huge market share wasn't much of a surprise, as
its lead was built up across two decades and nothing spectacularly
changed in the PC market in 2010 apart from the welcome recovery from
the previous year's recession.
