Intel dominated the processor market in 2011, reveals report

The PC market has seen better days, but things aren’t slowing down for it, just yet. IDC has released a report of the performance of the microprocessor market over the past year. The report states that the PC microprocessor revenues grew by 13.2 percent over 2010, which roughly is a growth of some 1.8 percent over the previous quarter. The average selling price of products grew by some 9 percent in 2011 - this is the second time in a row that prices have grown considerably. The biggest growth came from the server processor market and not the notebook or desktop PC processor segments. As expected, Intel led the charts with a massive 80.3 percent market share over its nearest and only major competitor, AMD who ended with a market share of 19.6 percent. VIA the only other player maintained its 0.1 percent share.Click here for full story
