Sandy Bridge can occupy 3/4 after a year of strong popularity

For Intel, 2011 will undoubtedly become the "year of the Sandy Bridge." The speed of adoption of the new architecture can also be said to be very rapid. The proportion of desktop shipments can account for one-fifth of the beginning of the year and the end of the year is as high as four. In three quarters, AMD is not able to keep up with the pace of production of bulldozers until April next year. The first batch of Sandy Bridge processors will be shipped to OEMs at the end of this year, mainly Core i7, Core i5 brand mid-to-high-end models, but the proportion of overall shipments will be very low, only about 2%.

After the official release in the first quarter of next year, it will be different. Core i3 brand's low-end models will also follow up, accounting for about 8%, while Core i7/i5 will increase to 2% and 7%, respectively, totaling about 20%.

A quarter later, Pentium Pentium brand Sandy Bridge was born, and the new architecture will take this to more entry-level users. In this huge market, the Pentium Sandy Bridge accounted for 5% at the beginning of its birth and tripled to 15% in the third quarter.

By the end of next year, the Intel desktop will almost always be Sandy Bridge. In particular, the two low-end brands, the Pentium and Core i3, will account for as much as 25% of the total desktop shipments, accounting for half of the total. In other words, one year after Intel shipped two Sandy Bridge processors, there was one Pentium or Core i3. In addition Core i5 will also account for more than 20%, Core i7 is 3-4%, all add up to 75%.

As for the Celeron Celeron brand, previous news that it will appear in the Sandy Bridge family, but can not be found in the shipping road map, it seems that its fate is still pending.
