Comments on: Intel loses market share in own backyard

Chipmaker loses share to AMD worldwide, but fourth-quarter losses run especially deep in the U.S. retail market.

Leap ahead?

So, this is part of Intel's 'leap ahead' marketing campaign I take it? *chuckle*. Looks like AMD has got them on the run.

That's great for Fanboys.

The rest of us care about stability and the availability of chips and most importantly, the software that runs on the hardware.

Congratulations AMD. You've earned it...

Intel is still the corporate desktop processor and chipset of choice for "Managed" (imaged) systems due to their unreactionary roadmap. This is the same roadmap that is clearing the way for AMD to gain ground in the consumer area. Dell (that is spelled I-N-T-E-L) is feeling a bit left out of the consumer market but that not just a matter of their not offering AMD but of a growing concern amongst consumers that you will poor customer service.
Now that AMD has a growing server and consumer product market they need to affirm a "Managed" roadmap to start the capture of more enterprise desktops. To do this AMD will need to either partner with a chipset company or develop their own and ensure that it will be available for a typical enterprise timeline, like 12 to 18 months.

Intel now backing Apple..

With Intel backing Apple (whos market value has surpassed Dell's) don't you think it would be a good move by Dell to begin offering PC's with AMD processers in them? I think it might help out Dell considerably because with the launch of their XPS its obvious they are trying to satisfy gamers, and a large portion of gamers (and benchmarks) consider AMD superior to Intel.

The trend will reach the 3rd world soon

American consumers are more aware of the technology leadership of AMD, the 3rd world people are more aware of INTEL's brand. But the the trend will propagate to the 3rd world soon.
