Albert,
p4 at 50%+ of us retail, where does intel get their data?
Let say they continue at the same pace and now they are at 55%-65% then if amd is at around 35%-40% then there is only 0% left for celerons and pIIIs
I don't think AMD is at 35%-40% of US Retail. AMD share of retail desktops started dropping in Q2 and never recovered. It's hard to find a top of the like AMD PC anymore. What you can find is a lot of the HP Athlon based models with 1.3 GHz Athlon Tunderbird, 200 MHz FSB (not a very desirable machine at this time.)
I have seen one high end Athlon based Compaq with XP 1800+,, and the rest were P4s, Celerons, and a few (10 - 15%) low end Athlon and Duron machines. Sony no longer offers AMD based desktops. HP used to offer DDR based desktop, and it is gone now.
It is a shame that AMD has the highest performing desktop CPUs and is unable to sell them.
The delay of desktop Palomino is what caused the huge drop in AMD's desktop retail, and so far, it doesn't look like XP is regaining any of it.
On the positive side, we now have some notebook penetration, partially offsetting losses in desktop retail segment.
