Finance wees ons op een stukje van de mensen van Yahoo! Finance waarin gemeld wordt dat het markaandeel van processorbakker AMD sterk aan het groeien is. Volgens een manager van het bedrijf ligt AMD op koers om het gestelde doel van 30% marktaandeel aan het eind van het jaar te halen:
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), the world's largest microchip maker after Intel, is on track to achieve its stated goal of a 30 percent global market share by year-end, a company official said on Tuesday.
Recent launches of products for the mobile computer and workstation/server markets and hopes of a ``modest'' revenue growth will help AMD meet the target, said Wee Yep Yin, a marketing manager at AMD Far East Ltd in Singapore.
``We are on track to meet our corporate objective of market share of 30 percent by the end of this year,'' he said at the Malaysian launch of its first processor designed for servers and workstations.
Begin april was het marktaandeel van het bedrijf al 21%, terwijl het een jaar daarvoor nog maar 17% was. De verwachting is dat door de introductie van de Atlhon 4 en de Atlon MP processoren het marktaandeel weer omhoog zal schieten.
In een persbericht maakte AMD verder nog bekend dat de handelsprijs voor de 1GHz Athlon MP $215 zal worden, en dat de 1.2GHz versie $265 zal gaan kosten. Wat deze processoren in Nederland gaan kosten is nog onbekend, want zelfs in de Pricewatch word er nog geen melding van gemaakt 
.
UPDATE: Volgens een woordvoerder van AMD is het doel van het bedrijf niet om aan het eind van het jaar 30% marktaandeel te hebben, maar om tegen die tijd de capaciteit te hebben om 30% van de totale hoeveelheid nieuwe CPU's te produceren. Bedankt René!

Because of the great value of IP to Rambus, we must take all steps necessary to protect it from unauthorized use. In fact we have a fiduciary duty to our stockholders to ensure that we receive fair compensation for the use of our IP. Our business model depends on our negotiating license agreements with those companies who want to use our IP, and we have been largely successful in doing this with the majority of companies who respect our IP. But in a few cases, companies have chosen to litigate rather than negotiate license agreements in good faith. In this section of the Rambus website, we will post information intended to give our view on various topics associated with current litigation in which Rambus is involved.
