AMD Hits Milestone in Server Market

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the moving-on-up dept.

DontClickHere writes "According to data from Mercury Research, AMD has finally cracked the 10% mark in x86 instruction set server CPUs. AMD's Chairman had hoped that their server sales would hit 10% at the end of 2004, but they had only reached 5.7%. Some of this gain can be attributed to AMD's introduction of dual core chips in April this year. With Intel only due to ship dual core chips for low end servers later this year, AMD has been handed a golden opportunity to take a larger share in the server market."

    Hum I think AMD64 was also a pretty good reason for home buyers. The next killer would be a good equivalent of pentium M, AMD is still far behind intel on the laptop ground.
