IDC finds that Pentium M and HT-enabled platforms help Intel grow processor share in 2Q03.Intel increased its x86 PC processor market share in the second quarter of 2003 according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. IDC's latest quarterly processor market share report, Worldwide x86 PC Microprocessor microprocessor, integrated circuit containing the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to interpret and execute instructions from a computer program. Competitive Analysis, 2Q03 (IDC #29943). Most notably, the report indicates that Intel increased market share in the mobile PC processor segment by nearly 3%, with most of that share coming from AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. . "Intel's ramp up Ramp Up To increase a company's operations in anticipation of increased demand. Notes: A company might 'ramp up' operations if they just signed a contract creating substantially more demand for their product. See also: Demand, Economies of Scale of the Pentium M A family of CPUs from Intel that are part of its Centrino brand for mobile computing. Introduced in 2003 at speeds up to 1.6 GHz, it was formerly code named "Banias." Introduced in 2004, the second-generation Pentium M (code named "Dothan") uses the same chip package but is built with 90 processor, part of its Centrino platform, showed in a sequential increase in mobile processor shipments," said Shane Rau, senior research analyst for IDC's Semiconductor: Desktop and Mobile PCs service. "Meanwhile, AMD's mobile shipments reflected the seasonal decline in demand and loss of share by falling off approximately 25% sequentially. As a result, Intel took substantial mobile processor share from AMD." Worldwide x86 PC microprocessor market share for 2Q03 reveals that, on an overall unit basis, Intel increased market share 1.2% to 81.6%. AMD's overall unit share declined 1.1% to 17.2%. In the segment for desktop PC processors, Intel grew share 0.8% to 79.4% and AMD lost 0.7% share to end at 19.4%. In the segment for mobile PC processors, Intel grew share 2.8% to 88.1% and AMD lost 2.5% share to end at 10.6%. On a revenue basis, Intel was able to keep its 2Q03 revenue flat due to the overall flat sequential units shipments and ASPs. IDC believes that higher desktop processor ASPs enabled by HyperThreading technology and the new 800MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. front-side bus as well as mobile PC processor unit shipments and the higher ASPs of those units helped to compensate for modestly lower desktop PC processor unit shipments. |
