The Register meldt dat het marktaandeel van AMD in de VS achter blijft bij het aandeel op de Europese markt. AMD zou hier inmiddels 32% van het value segment in handen hebben en 8% van het high performance segment:
Lapinski said that estimates from Mercury Research, a US marketing company, was that AMD held between two to five per cent of the high performance desktop marketplace in the first three months of this year. "We see no problem meeting demands for our customer requirements," he added. That will be fulfilled by both Fabs 25 and 30, he said.These figures vary greatly from Europe, where, we understand, the market share is just over eight per cent in the high performance (Athlon) segment. And AMD estimates it holds around 32 per cent of the value segment -- essentially K6-2s.
Verder maakte AMD duidelijk dat alle 1GHz Athlon supplies deze maand richting Gateway en Compaq gaan. De rest van de planeet komt in april aan de beurt.
