이름 그대로 '패스'하라는 패스마크 CPU 마켓 쉐어 데이터가 있습니다.

 

근데 많은 분들이 이거 제목만 보고 진짜 CPU 시장 점유율로 보시는 분들이 많더군요.

 

 

결론만 말하면 그냥 벤치마크 DB에 등록된 CPU 제조사 비율을 체크한 것에 불과하며,

 

CPU 시장 점유율/판매량 통계랑은 아아아아아아아아아무런 관계가 없습니다.

 

이건 패스마크 공홈에 대놓고 적혀 있는 내용이지요.

This graph counts the baselines submitted to us during these time period and therefore is representative of CPUs in use rather than CPUs purchased.

The Quarters are by the calendar year rather than financial. (i.e. Q1 starts January 1st)
Baselines can be submitted from anywhere therefore these are global statistics.

We do receive a small number of submissions of CPU types other than AMD and Intel however the percentage is so small as to make it not worth graphing. This combined with rounding off the percentages to 2 decimal places will account for each quarter not always adding up to exactly 100%.

This chart only includes x86 processors and does not include other chip architectures these manufacturers may sell.

This chart only includes CPUs installed into PCs and does not include game consoles.

As the PerformanceTest software only runs on Windows OS and counts on user submitting their benchmarks. This chart may be non reflective of non Windows user base.

The figures don't represent just new CPU sales. They also reflect to some degree the installed base from the last 5 to 10 years. So large monthly swings in CPU sales will take time to convert the installed base.

As the chart is updated daily, but data points are for the quarter, the first few days of a new quarter will only have a few samples. i.e. The first few days of a new quarter are less accurate compared to the end of a quarter.

 

Due to insufficient Server CPU data pre-2008, the server charts at Q1 2008.

 

대충 보면 PC 플랫폼+윈도우만 측정하며, 기간별로 패스마크 벤치마크에 사용된 CPU들에 명단이지 실제 그 기간 내에 신규 구매된 CPU를 나타내는 게 아니고, 분기별로 DB가 새로 갱신되는 게 아니라 5~10년 가량의 기존 데이터들까지 포함된 상태라네요.

 

옛날부터 국내외 불문하고, 여러 동네에서 잊을 만하면 CPU 점유율이 어쨌느니, AMD 점유율이 얼마만큼 올랐느니 하면서 저 패스마크 DB를 제시하던데 도대체 왜 그러는지 모르겠습니다.
