How does Jerrihad define dollar market share?
Maybe you can leave the name calling to the resident adolescent.
Here is what Jerry said: jc-news.com
Since our competitor refuses to disclose actual unit or dollar PC processor shipments, we must unfortunately rely on third party estimates. Some interesting observations can be made, however, using data reported to the SEC. In 2000, AMD's PC processor revenues at 2 billion 337 million dollars were 8.4% of Intel's Architectural Group revenues of 27.3 billion. In 2001, AMD's PC processor revenues at 2 billion 419 million were 11.2% of Intel's Architectural Group revenues of 21.4 billion. In the just completed fourth quarter, AMD's PC processor revenues of 703 million dollars were 12.1% of Intel's Architectural Group revenues of 5.8 billion.
Perhaps most remarkably, since 1997, when AMD launched its competitive thrust with innovative differentiated PC processors and shed its clone image, our corporate revenue growth in absolute dollars exceeded Intel's. Intel's revenue grew from 25.1 billion to 26.5 billion, or 1.4 billion dollars. AMD's growth was 1.5 billion dollars from 2.4 to 3.9 billion dollars in corporate revenue. Let me repeat: AMD's total growth in absolute dollars exceeded Intel's while they were on an acquisition spree and AMD divested itself of its voice communication and programmable logic business. The reason is our success in PC processors. Anyone who believes Intel is not losing share to AMD must also believe in the tooth fairy. Competition is good, and AMD is good competition.
