Intel Corp (INTC)

wbmw wrote (quite a while ago) Intel will undersell AMD's entire lineup and clobber them in sales.

Either way, AMD is going to lose. Intel's lineup is the strongest they've had in years, and for the first time, they are being very aggressive in pricing. Spin it any way you want, but AMD is not going to be gaining share anywhere.

Hmmmm. Haven't been here in a while - but that deserved an answer.

It seems like Intel took share from Motorola/IBM in apple boxes (leading to a 3% increase in their sales) but that other than that AMD continues to take sockets away from Intel in PCs. They certainly don't appear to be "clobbering" AMD in sales. AMD gaining a solid foothold in desktops, notebooks, and servers at Dell has been a big help and should help AMD to continue to gain ground against Intel.

AMD entered Q4 with 23.3 per cent of the x86 market, up from 22 per cent in Q2, an increase of 1.3 percentage points. Intel's share rose by a higher margin: up 3.1 percentage points to 76.1 per cent.
