AMD x86 client CPU share tops 30 percent for first time
AMD\'s share of the x86 client CPU market rose above 30 percent for the first time in the second quarter of 2026, with Mercury Research putting it at 30.3 percent. The gain came as overall PC demand remained weak, especially in desktops, where shipments fell 20 percent from a year earlier. AMD\'s desktop share reached 34.9 percent and mobile 28.9 percent. Arm-based client CPUs were estimated at 15.3 percent.
