If anything, the mishaps of former competitors and AMD’s own growth pains during their early days of becoming a competitive processor power house helped Intel to hold onto market share as long as it has. In contrast, AMD has performed remarkably well during the past several quarters - much better than Ashok thought possible. Ashok is one of the more through analysts covering the sector but AMD has repeatedly made him eat his words regarding their ability to gain market share and produce bottom line results. The corporate market is not such a tough nut to crack as he might suspect. Corporate users demand reliable supply and a competitive price/performance ratio. They also want breath of product to support both their desktop, laptops and server needs. AMD has reached a scale of business and capabilities to pose the first threat to Intel in decades. AMD won't have it easy but they have won the battle by providing superior designed processors at competitive prices. Customers have welcomed that competition and will likely continue to do so.
