AMD's share of the microprocessor market nearly equaled the 12.9 percent it held in the first quarter of 2008
Meanwhile, Intel saw its share of the market slip 2.5 points to 79.1 percent, iSuppli said.
Both AMD and Intel suffered first quarter revenue declines due to the poor economic and market conditions, iSuppli noted. Those factors are expected to continue to hamper the global microprocessor business in 2009, with full-year revenue set to $28.6 billion, down 15.8 percent from $34 billion in 2008, the firm said.
