Arm, Apple's PC Market Share Shrinks as x86 Rebounds: Mercury Research

The Arm logo.

Declining sales of Apple's Mac computers in recent quarters couldn't help but influence the share of Arm-based processors in PCs overall. While shipments of Arm system-on-chips (SoCs) grew in the third quarter, sales of x86 CPUs grew more significantly, which reduced Arm's share compared to the prior quarter, according to Mercury Research.

Mercury Research believes that Arm system-on-chips (SoCs) commanded 10.6% of PC market share in Q3 2023, a nice result compared to 2020 (between 2% and 3%), but well below a 14.6% share they had in the same quarter a year ago. Meanwhile, Intel sold 70% of client CPUs in Q3 2023, whereas AMD's share on the market of client PC processors was 19.4%, based on the numbers published earlier this week.
