Een paar dagen geleden zagen we in een artikel van C|Net News.com een aantal reakties van analysten die overwegend pessimistisch verwachtingen hadden over de marktpositie van AMD. The Register vroeg een aantal Engelse PC bouwers naar de verkoopcijfers van Athlon systemen. De reakties zijn erg positief:
Said Sukh Rayat, managing director of Flashpoint, a major UK chip distributor: "I have to say we've seen significant revenues coming from the K7 already."He claimed the Athlon is "taking the market by storm". Said Rayat: "We're very happy with sales and volumes and the next stage will be sell into the tier three and tier four market."
Luke Ireland, marketing director at Evesham Micro, said: "We're very happy with the way Athlon sales are going. I don't believe Intel has anything to match AMD in the near future. "
Ireland disclosed that AMD was getting much higher yields than 650MHz K7s and he confirmed Evesham is pleased with the volumes his company is receiving.
