This is getting a teensy bit repetitive now, but there's yet more bad news for Intel. Its arch rival AMD has clawed back a hefty 10% market share in the desktop x86 CPU segment over the last year. And that has us wondering, could those crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs be hurting Intel's sales?

The market share figures are according to the long-time PC hardware soothsayers and data analysts at Mercury Research (via Tom's Hardware). AMD now owns 28.7% of the desktop CPU market, up from 19.2% a year ago, though its mobile CPU share is a fair bit lower at 22.3%.
