According to a Forbes article, research firm Credit Suisse First Boston reports that Apple has seen major year-over-year sales growth in the month of May.

Retail PC shipment growth fell to 4% in May, led by desktops, falling 10% year-over-year and 8% month-over-month. Notebooks continued to perform well, growing 23% year-over-year, in line with March figures. Distribution shipments were up as well, increasing 13% year-over-year in May, in-line with seasonality. Again, desktop shipments were down and notebooks up. “From a vendor perspective, Apple Computer (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) was the big winner, growing units 79% year-over-year overall and 94% year-over-year in standalone retail,” the research firm said.

These figures do not represent any possible impact on sales due to Apple’s announcement of switching to Intel processors in 2006.
