pt, < The percentages for notebook processors (very end of article) only add up to 86.3%. Is this a reporting error or is there another significant supplier of portable MPU?> The story reported these %'s in notebooks: PIII 32% up from 5% Celeron 2.9%, down from 25% AMD 51.4% I suspect the the Celeron number is really 12.9%. The remaining 3.7% could be old emachines Cyrix machines. Petz

On the processor front, AMD continued to lose ground to Intel after a surge during the holidays. Intel processors appeared in about two-thirds of the retail systems sold in April versus just more than one-third for AMD. These numbers don't make sense. Wasn't AMD at 16+% of the market in Feb and March? This article says AMD has 1/3 of the market in April but that # is a decline. I must be missing something here....maybe its indirect sales thru the retail channels vs direct like 'net sales. ted
