I don't think they are misleading. They just show different things.

Firefox shows total CPUs being used. By new and potentially very old computers. My own desktop CPU was made in 2012.

Cpubenchmark.net shows new machines being built or bought.

So, think of the latter (this month sales) as the rate of change for the first (total CPUs being used).

I see no reason at all to benchmark an old computer, just new ones.

Therefore, if current trends keep, Firefox reported AMD market share will grow. If.

52% of computers here are with 2 cores. 40% are with 4gb of RAM or less. 20% are 32bit, which haven't been sold for god knows how many years. These stats do not represent new PC that are being sold.

Also, people are more likely to benchmark a brand-new machine, but run firefox regardless of how new their machine is.
