Intel Loses Market Share to AMD

Posted by Zonk on from the changing-times dept.

diverge_s wrote to mention an article examining Intel's market share loss to AMD in the fourth quarter of 2005. From the article: "Sales of Intel-based desktop PCs fell 22.3 percent during the fourth quarter, according to Current Analysis. As a result, sales of AMD-based desktops took the lead during the pivotal fourth-quarter holiday shopping season. AMD chips were found in 52.5 percent of desktop PCs sold in U.S. retail stores during that period."

    Their new push for quality engineering over marketing fluff will surely give them the lead again!

      How about that move to change the motto from "Intel Inside!" to "Intel Aside!"

    When the Intel-based Macs hit the market, Intel processors will be found in 52.6 percent of desktop PCs, so there!

      And once the transition is complete, expect to see Apple move to AMD. They are playing Intel like a fiddle.

    And they won it all back when every reader of slashdot bought a macbook pro and/or intel imac after being brainwashed with Apple stories for four consecutive days.

    They both support Trusted Computing which makes me wish there was another option out there.

    I don't see MOS Technology on the list...

    Here's the CPU for you!

    Would you rather have an engine that puts out redlines at 6,000 or 12,000 RPM? I forgot to mention, the 6,000 RPM motor is a 5 liter V8, the 12,000 RPM motor is a 60 CC weedwacker motor.

    I'd rather have the 12,000RPM motor in my weedwacker. I just imagine the 5 liter V8 would be a little cumbersome trying to get the areas around my fence.
