Centrino Success
The IDC report demonstrates that Intel's Centrino release, buoyed by a massive publicity blitz, was a plus for the company.

"Intel's ramp up of the Pentium M processor, part of its Centrino platform, showed in a sequential increase in mobile-processor shipments," said Shane Rau, IDC senior research analyst.

"Meanwhile, AMD's mobile shipments reflected the seasonal decline in demand and loss of share by falling off approximately 25 percent sequentially. As a result, Intel took substantial mobile-processor share from AMD," Rau said.

The report indicates that Intel increased market share in the mobile-PC processor segment by nearly 3 percent, to 88.1 percent. AMD's current mobile-processor share is 10.6 percent.
