Intel Corp (INTC)

That is not the argument. It started with channel stuffing

These are semantics. Inventory is inventory, whether one calls it the "channel" or not.

The end-result is the same.
How can Intel grow faster than the market as predicted by IDC?

Maybe it's continued market share gain - for a while until that stops.
Maybe IDC is wrong and units will pick up.
Maybe there are distortions in the market where low-end laptops are disrupting the seasonal trends in a way similar to netbooks.

Why don't *you* add something.
