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."

    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!
