"Still, I vaguely recall hearing that AMD had near to or close to thirty percent market share some time in the 80486 time frame."

Actually, that was in the 80386 timeframe. AMD's peak was with the 80386 40 MHz processor. The fastest Intel had was a 80386 33MHz, but the 80486 25MHz was just around the corner. Intel had a history of limiting their max. clock rate to push their next generation, AMD had no such qualms. That went all the way back to the 8086/88, where Intel capped their clock rate at 8 MHz, but AMD saw fit to push it to 12.5MHz...

JC, I just roughed the sum of AMD, Via and transmeta at approaching 40%. The sum is probably just a bit shy of that.
, maybe 35-38%. Via might have as much as 8-10% in this quarter as we have seen how well they are doing on the integrated el cheapo boards. Mush less in $$ shares though, since all Via stuff is very low cost.
transmeta may have trouble even reaching 1%, who knows.

Bill
