- It doesn't make much sense, and they way this article is spun it implies that AMD gained ground on the Atom processor which I believe was just implied as they were only comparing Intel volume from one quarter to another which doesn't necessarily reflect a gain in AMD sales in that arena. No argument with seven7dust the laptop/netbook market is Intel's at this point and AMD (while I am a big fan) has no competitive products in that space. Given the pricing of the Phenom II to the i7 I would say that people were bargain shopping for those processors which would make more sense to why there is gain in the AMD side as it notes that it made gains in the Mobile & Desktop side ... my guess it was more desktop than mobile.
