AMD outsells Intel in retail for first time

Well this is a bit eye opening:

http://www.tgdaily.com/2005/10/14/amd_outsells_intel/index.html

There were apparently more AMD based PCs sold in September than Intel, I find that sort of hard to believe -- but there you go. Good for AMD.

 

That is nothing short of amazing!! Here's another interesting fact - AMD makes as much in a year as Intel makes in a two weeks. (EDIT)

AMD has been making great strides lately - I'm glad to see one of the 'giants' has some serious competition.

For desktops, AMD for me, but laptops.... :centrino:

 

Good one AMD. I think AMDs next marketing strategy should be to inform the mass public that they are as good as intel or even better when it comes to CPUs, not only cheaper.

I just feel like kicking people in the head who ask me: "I know that AMD are good and cheap, but are they AS GOOD AS Intel?" And I just go nuts, because people think that because they have heard of intel more than AMD, then for sure intel must be better, while in fact for the past couple of years I believe AMD has had the edge over Intel.

And hopefully the turions will proove themselves in the mobile market as soon as some manufacturer gives them the chance, or maybe better put, intel allows some manufacturer to give AMD a fair chance!

 

Good for AMD... I've always considered their CPUs to be top notch.
However, the mobile market is still dominated by Centrinos... I don't see that changing for a while; AMD's gotta step it up in the mobile market.

 

what?! how can this be true? do you mean makes the same number of chips, or makes more money?

that would be INSANE if it was money - intel is like 15x bigger than amd!

 

Money - that's right! Things might change now that AMD has a larger market share...

HP is probably the number one company that is contributing to the growth for AMD.

EDIT: whoops I messed up - AMD makes as much in a year as intel makes in two weeks. I was zoning....sorry.

 

Wonder if Dell is reading this?

 

Happy to see AMD competing well against Intel. The x64 AMD chips rock.

 

I certainly hope so! Sony as well. The reason Dell doesn't adopt AMD is because AMD doesn't have the manufacturing capacity for Dell....but I think that is an excuse...if Dell had one or two models with AMD's, that wouldn't exhaust AMD's manufacturing capability.

 

Maybe Intel just paid dell off so they won't be able to go with another company until there contract is up!? You never know.........

 

I think Dell uses AMD to extract more discounts from Intel.

 

yea..lol..i think so 2...that's not very surprising tho

 

Definitely Turions will prove ( or already proven!?)

"According to AMD CEO Hector Ruiz, this marks the ninth consecutive quarter with at least 20 percent year over year sales growth. Ruiz said revenue for the Turion 64 mobile processor was up 72 percent this quarter. That processor shipped in the first quarter but built momentum among OEMs in the second quarter. Sales spiked in the most recent, third quarter after corporate customers had time to evaluate Turion-based products and consumers picked up models during the back-to-school selling period, Ruiz explained."

I hope Intel atleast now start making CPU which does not need 150watts power and big fans. I am tired of noise.

 

I could have sworn that "prove" is spelled with one "o"...

 

Oops, thanks for correcting the typo! May be I am stressing it too much!!?
