Who's the loudest: Intel, AMD or ARM?

iSuppli has done its accounts and concluded on the respective market shares of Intel and AMD over the global market for microprocessors in 2010. Surprise? Not surprise: Intel finished the year by controlling 81% of the market is 0.4 points more than in 2009 and has allowed AMD to 11.4% of the market (- 0.8 points).

AMD has particularly suffered in the last quarter of the year, losing 1.3 points compared to 2009. iSuppli considers not only the x86 CPU: RISC are also included and therefore all ARM chips from shelves. Overall the market has shown over the year a turnover of 40 billion dollars, 25% better than 2009.

Besides the emergence of ARM chips, iSuppli has observed the rise of integrated graphics processor chip. They represented a third of sales in 2010 and should exceed the 50% in 2011 saw the virtual disappearance of Core 2 and AMD chip release Fusion Ontario and Llano.
