Totally agree that enthusiasts are overrepresented, but that seems like a leading indicator, at least in the performance and gaming market (which is a growing portion of the overall desktop market).

Perhaps a bigger share of a declining market. IDC forecast that 2020 desktop sales would be down about 17% while notebook sales rose about 26%. While many companies still use Wintel PCs for employees who are (normally) always at their desks, many others increasingly have standardized on notebooks even if not everyone needs one.

The trend looks good for AMD in that case. Intel can't compete on performance or efficiency for mobile chips, so it's just a matter of time before companies start shifting to AMD laptops in greater numbers. Especially since Intel still hasn't been able to demonstrate anything matching AMD.

AMD can't possibly overtake Intel until the mass market PC makers switch to AMD. Have any done so yet?

HP and Dell offer AMD laptops and desktops.
