I don't know what your source for this statistic is, but it is not accurate.

According to this link:
http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2005/02/01/amd_share_x86_q4_04/

"AMD came out of Q1 2005 with 16.9 per cent of the x86 CPU market, up less than a third of a percentage point more than Q4 2004. Arch-rival, Intel, lost half a percentage point of market share between the same periods, easing to 81.7 per cent of the market."
