Intel Corp (INTC)

[Unkwn]

Gartner says PC market growing for the first time in six years. Consumer demand is still weak. I'd expect the tightening competition between AMD and Intel will lead to higher performance increases and thus will make system replacements more attractive, also for the consumer crowd. It was that competitive spiral between AMD and Intel which lead to peak sales of PC processors in the 2000's. That sluggish 10% performance gain every second CPU generation from Intel didn't make many people switch.
