Reynoso, re: "That is a bit confusing. If AMD is selling tens of thousands of units/quarter - and they admit they have zero per cent market share"

I think they mean that 20,000 / 1,000,000 = 2% is "essentially zero percent" market share. It isn't really zero.

ps: I don't think the MP processors are going into the hobbyist segment (where the use of XPs is quite popular on message boards and even Durons and TBirds are likely more common than the MPs). I believe there would be an interesting imbalance between the number of 760MP and 760MPX chipsets out there and the number of MP processors.

I think that their essentially zero percent market share is referring to MP systems, while the tens of thousands of units/quarter is referring to MP processors.
