You can´t really draw any conclusions from this data about AMD´s total CPU shipments.

Me...
Looks like AMD is doing pretty well in Europe too. Almost 50% gain y/y. Read the post, there's more.

Them...

Figures from Context Research show 14.8 per cent of desktop computers sold through dealers in the third quarter of 2005 were powered by AMD chips. That compares to AMD's market share of just 10.5 per cent in the same period last year.

The alternative chip provider is doing particularly well in selling PCs to home users through the multiple retail channel - nearly one in five PCs sold through retail in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK contained AMD chips.

Enterprise customers are also being tempted away from their usual loyalty to Intel. AMD increased its share of business to resellers specialising in larger customers to 8.6 per cent from just 3 per cent in September 2004. Sales of AMD's Opteron chip for servers have also grown - its share of channel sales is up to 4.6 per cent from just 1 per cent last year
