On year AMD’s all-inclusive share is slightly higher due to a faster recovery in client CPUs and Intel’s NEX shipments being lower. Intel gained share in part to demand for low-end processors for Chromebooks.

In the second quarter of 2023 the PC central processing unit (CPU) market rebounded off the decade lows set the prior quarter. As a result of this there were no new records set in the second quarter — high or low, for units, revenues, pricing, or growth rates — which ultimately is good news and reflects that the worst part of the current inventory-induced downturn is probably now in the past, said Dean McCarron, analyst at Mercury Research, in an email.
