Uit een nieuw rapport van Mercury Research blijkt dat het marktaandeel van Intel in de low-end sector weer is gestegen. Uiteraard ging dit ten koste van AMD (die het financieel toch al erg zwaar heeft):
Figures from market research company Mercury Research, which reported that AMD managed to secure 16.1 per cent market share in the last quarter of 1998, show that Intel has clawed its way back in the entry level market.The latest set of figures from Mercury now show that AMD's share fell to 13.6 in the first quarter of this year, while Intel's share rose from 75.9 per cent to 80.3 per cent.
The Mercury figures show that AMD has lost share to Intel's Celeron. During the course of this year, Intel has remorselessly cut the cost of its entry level processors, which are practically identical to Pentium IIs.
