"Intel has overtaken AMD in U.S. retail sales for June, according to a Current Analysis report quoted by CNet. The report says Intel's overall share of processor sales in the retail market jumped from 42.2% in May to 51.2% in June, while AMD's share tumbled from 57.4% to 48.5%. Intel's growth can be attributed to the notebook market, where the company went from 57.3% of retail sales in May to 66.2% in June. Current Analysis says these gains are due to an emphasis on cheap Celeron M notebooks, a large portion of which Toshiba-built and retailed for $599 or below.

While Intel made strides in the notebook segment, AMD retained its lead in the desktop arena. The Current Analysis report says AMD had a whopping 73% of desktop retail sales, whereas Intel had just 26.8%. AMD's desktop lead is only in the sub-$750 segment, though—Intel has the upper hand in desktop machines $750 and up. "


I thought this relevant as I recall in recent topic’s some discussion around market share, note the AMD lead in desktop in sub $750, whilst Intel leads it $750 above desktop.

I posted this yesterday. Thanks for the info though.

DOH .... i did quickly look through.. but must have missed it.


sorry

Look like Core 2 will turn that around but ya AMD has been leading Intel for years it is time for a change

I agree. Competition is great for us.
Im just surprised how long it took Intel to pull it's head outta its butt.

You forgot to add, for the first time in awhile. AMDs units didn't go down much. Intel flooded the market with a laptop I would only recommend for Solitiare. It's not cheating but someone is getting ripped off. A Mobile Sempron or Athlon64 would mop up the floor with those in every usage scenario.

I bet Intel basically gave those chips away. but shame on Toshiba for such a crappy PC. A Celeron with 845G?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Regular quad core may get it back up there. K8L wil NOT DEBUT for the desktop but regular quad core will. AMD has already set the TDP for quad core K8 to 95W @ 65nm.

Clovertown will be a joke to K8 quad because of the FSB. Even with the Core 2 basis, HTX will power alot more bandwidth than even Dual 1333. especially since an AMD system can add the bandwidth from the "northbridge" to the HTX bandwidth.


Again the future looks bright for AMD. Intel releases a good chip finally and everyone is singing a death knell for a company that has 70%+ of the retail desktop. With Turion X2, they will make inroads into mobile also.

I cansee dell adopting Turion X2 especially since AMD just cancelled the single core Turion along with basically every other single core chip.

They have girded their loins for battle and it won't be as easy as it used to be for Intel.

Ask VooDooPC CEO Rahul Sood. he sells plenty of AMD.

AMD has not cornered 70% of the desktop market... maybe 70% of the el-cheapo under $750 PC's... and profits are razor thin in this segment... as even you can imagine...
While Intel has the more profitable midrange and high end desktop PC's, which is where the money is anyway.

We'll let's see. if AMD owns every market except for the OVER $1250 but has a significant presence as AlienWare, VooDooPC, etc indicates, they do indeed have th elion's share of the RETAIL DESKTOP MARKET.

So what about margins. if they were leading in the above $1250 you would say that Intel's volume at the lower end overrides it. Admit it you're just an Intel "blind follower." All the talk abotu K8L has overridded the fact that AMD has announced TDP for X4. Do you think Core 2 can handle X4?

I don't. EvenClovertown will be hard pressed so AMD will take the crown back as soon as they release quad core, but I guess you'll say "but they need 4 cores."

So what Intel neede dto revam their ENTIRE CPU LINEUP. AMD was plannign X4 with the original Opteron. K8L just differentiates desktop quad from server.


In other words the spanking wil recommence around Q207. I'm glad Intel is selling more but woul dyou really be productive with a Celeron laptop and 854G.

I thinknot. Unless you're playing Solitaire @ 800x600. I'm curious to see GMAX3000. if they want it to run Aero, they better hire some better GPU designers. I'm sure that IGPs and Vista were a major reason for Dell adopting AMD for desktops.

Michael dell just about said they will go full out. With Dell pushing nVidia business desktop, AMD WILL get their 30% share.

maybe one day you'll understand the way the PC business works.

Damn, Baron, how often can you flip flop?

You often say that "well, performance doesn't really matter - it's enough to do most of the stuff people need, so buy AMD anyways, because they r0xx0r"... but then in the same breath you mock Intel's budget CPU's saying they can't get anything done.

Two cheers for consistency!

That sounds like domination to me...

I bet this is due to Intel's very aggressively priced dual-core selections.

I bet you're right.

Nope, AMDs future is darker than the inside of my... well... ya know... the exit we all have
