If you count number of processors, the market is over 99%
embedded devices and less than 1% desktop /laptop computers.
If you count the money spent on processors, the market 
for embedded devices is somewhere in the 40% to 80% range
with 20% to 60% going to desktop /laptop computers.  Note
that the Core Duo in your laptop counts as a laptop 
processor, but the microcontroller inside the disk drive 
counts as an embedded processor.
