AMD stock is hyped up everytime it comes out with new CPU. When reality sinks it comes down to earth. This pattern has been established and it did exactly that.
They apparently did ship more units in certain periods in US retail in the 2004-2005 time frame. But they still were also far behind on revenue share:
"AMD has been tugging on Intel&'s hold in U.S. retail desktop sales in recent months. The company saw its market share of unit retail sales in desktop PCs here increase from 52 percent in September to 67.7 percent in October. Unit sales in U.S. retail notebook PCs also increased, from 26.2 percent of the market in September to 31.5 percent in October, said the firm.
On a revenue basis, AMD has a way to go before catching Intel, however. October revenue share on U.S. retail PC sales was 40.1 percent, trailing Intel&'s 57.6 percent share. This is due to the average selling price of Intel PCs being significantly higher than AMD PCs, said Current Analysis."
