price drop ? Don't forget that amd's market share is only 20%. The extra sales are less than 2 million chips. Market can easily absorb 2 million chips given sufficient price incentive. Even if not all 2 mil are sold then the increase in inventories should be much smaller than 2 mil.
BTW 2mil corresponds to less than a month worth of inventories.
Intel on another hand can perform the same trick because market would not absorb 10 million chips that easily

Re: If AMD sold 50% of Q2 in June, that means April and May each average out to 25%. That's quite a spike in shipments

June is the month in which AMD carved 15% of the notebook market out of the hide of Intel. It's also the month when OEMs start building for the back-to-school market - a major event in the retail market which is where AMD sales are concentrated.
