THE LATEST "POOP" ON THE COPPERLESS aluMINUMMINE IS THAT NO VOLUME SHIPMENTS ARE EXPECTED UNTIL LATE NOVEMBER. ATHLON SHIPMENTS THIS QUARTER MAY REACH OVER ONE MILLION. intEL KIND OF SUCKS WHEN IS IT FORCED TO PERFORM UNDER THE KIND OF PRESSURE THAT IT HAS SUBJECTED AMD TO FOR YEARS. FUN TO WATCH. THE STOCK (AMD'S NOT intEL's WHICH PROBABLY WILL, IN TIME, GO THE OTHER WAY) SHOULD START TO MOVE MEANINGFULLY UP SOON. 20 MAY BECOME A SUPPORT LEVEL NOW THAT IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN TESTED.

STAY TUNED!!!!!<B/>

RE: "There was also another article somewhere that said AMD had either 63 or 67% of the retail notebook market share in one of the recent months. Yes, I know what I just wrote is completely vague so I will try to find the article. ;)"

Aha, it was NOT an article, that 67% number came direct from an AMD press release. AMD got the figure from PC Data and it is for the month of July.

Cirruslvr, Re: "According to U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray estimates, AMD's recent design wins at Compaq Computer and Toshiba have enabled the company to capture about 60% of the U.S. domestic retail market and 20% of the worldwide notebook market."

Thanks. I have no problem with this number. 20% of the whole pie is as I said in line with its overall market share figure.
