AMD's market share growth comes amid what the report describes as the worst downturn in the PC chip market since the 1980s, as consumers ease up on computer purchases during the pandemic.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has captured nearly a third of the market for central processor units while British chip technology firm Arm Ltd’s rise in the PC market slowed in the fourth quarter of 2022, according to an analyst report.

After snapping up PCs and laptops for working from home during the pandemic, consumers and businesses have slowed their purchases amid rising inflation and economic uncertainty.
