Andreas, <But stating that Compaq isn't selling any AMD systems any more when 50% of their retail systems are from AMD is IMO a little bit far fetched.>

I think equating marketshare with the number of product design wins is a little bit far fetched. Perhaps the Intel-based lines are selling better than the AMD-based lines? We already seen a report some time ago saying that Intel has 67% of the retail market, compared with AMD's 33%. This despite the numerous observations that AMD-based systems on display at Circuit City/Best Buy/Fry's/Costco outnumber Intel-based systems.

By the way, I especially loved how the analyst refered to the AMDroids on the ZDNet Talkback forums as fedayeens. That sure got a lot of them riled up.

It's sales, sales, sales.

RE: "Probably they are selling more Intel systems because..."
