Re: We know: - some workstations have multiple CPUs

Wow! a coherent counter argument to my post! What a change from that chorus of squealing pigs.

You make a good point. Dual processor servers probably add a million CPUs to the count of boxes sold, and multi CPU servers (more than 2) may add a half million more. Lets call it 2 million, to give Intel the benefit of the doubt.

That would take the Gartner number up to 32.5 million, and AMD's share of the market down to 23.7% (leaving Intel with 76.3%)

OTOH, IDC reported unit shipments of 29.7mil

Add 2 million to that and we have 31.7 million, which almost puts us back around 24/76.

Re: - some CPUs may be sitting at distributors or in PC vendors inventory

Neither company counts parts sitting at distributors as sold.

Re: - some CPUs may be used in boxes that are not counted in this survey

The survey covered Note: Data includes desk-based PCs, mobile PCs and PC servers what else is there?
