According to Mercury Research by way of Lehman Brothers AMD lost share in both desktops and notebooks in Q2 measured in both units and revenue.

Intel was up two points to 87.5% in notebook units aided and abetted by AMD’s slower-than-expected Puma ramp, which took 6% off of AMD’s notebook units while Intel’s pushed up 11%.

Intel took 87.6% of server units and 73.7% of desktop units, both up fractionally.

AMD won a 0.2% smidgen of server revenue share compliments of Barcelona for a total of 9.2%.

Overall Intel was up 5% quarter-over-quarter on shipments, AMD was down 3%.

Lehman thinks Intel is benefiting from Dell at the low end, Apple’s new momentum and HP’s solidity.
