[Pc_Support] AMD outsells Intel on US retail shelf for a full month for the first time ever ...

[Bryan J. Smith]

Interesting results for 2005 September retail sales:

Sure enough, it was HP who was largely responsible for AMD's success.


As I have repeatedly stated, HP has been the sole Tier-1 that has been
the AMD thorn in Intel's side.  But while Intel has been beating HP to
drop their AMD Opteron server sales from over a 30% share to under 10%
on the business front, AMD quietly took control of the Media PC on the
consumer shelf right under Intel's noses.

Interesting fact that 46% of all US retail desktops were Media PCs.  I
wouldn't have guessed that, but it seems AMD -- or at least HP --
_might_ know their market a bit better than Intel, Dell and the mail
order channels, eh?  ;->

My, my how the market changes.
