Hexus published AMD enjoys processor sales share surge in Japan
A quote from the article:
Nearly 70 per cent of PC-DIY CPU sales (Amazon Japan, BIC Camera etc) are of AMD parts. Japanese PC enthusiasts and gamers who choose to build their own PCs are lapping up AMD processors. PC Watch Japan reports that it has seen aggregated data via BCN, from 24 resellers such as Amazon Japan, BIC Camera, Edion and various bricks and mortar stores, that suggests AMD now has 68.6 per cent of the solus CPU market. In terms of pre-built PCs, AMD's percentage share is much less; BCN reports that the current market share for AMD in pre-built laptops and desktops is just 14.7 per cent.AMD enjoys processor sales share surge in Japan
