Previous data have shown that global PC shipments fell in the first quarter. Accordingly, the "brain" CPU processor of PC also witnessed a decline. According to the latest statistics given by mercury research, PC processor shipments plunged by more than 30% in the first quarter**
However, from the perspective of shipping share, Intel seems to be more affected than AMD. Because in Q1, AMD's share in the x86 processor market increased to 27.7%, while Intel fell to 72.3%.
Although the sales volume is not awesome, the manufacturers' income is not the same. Mr said that the average shipping price of notebooks and desktop processors reached a record $138 (about 937 yuan), the highest on record**
In fact, this is not surprising. In order to deal with the shortage of supply caused by the epidemic and supply chain / logistics interruption, AMD's strategy is to focus on the production of products in the high-end market. Seeing that Zen 4 Raptor 7000 is coming, the orthodox Zen 3 Raptor 3 is still missing. Isn't this a very realistic situation.
