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."

    Does this mean that I'll be able to afford an AMD chip now?

      Probably not. The AMD chips will probably swap places with Intel and become over-priced and under-performing.

    Good game Slashdot being behind the times, I think it is time for a major change at slashdot. Anyone can go to other sites and get much more up-to-date technology news. It is not really news when it is a week later than other sites report. Well, hopefully CmdrTaco will rally the slashtroops and fix this problem before slashdot eventually kills itself. There is only so much that slashtrolls can put up with before leaving for other sites, like CNet News

    What a great time for a computer OEM to be forced to turn to Intel exclusively for their chips!

    WTG Steve!

    Your incompetence in dealing with IBM burned that bridge and they have no intention of saving your ass no matter how much you beg them to take you back.

    Apple computer hardware is going to ride the Intel chip trainwreck all the way to the bottom.

    Better pray those iPods stay hip...
