RE:"Those kind of ads (largely co-marketing jingles on OEM ads) are too expensive for AMD right now" Well how much $$$ are they? What % of the ad cost does Intel contribute to get the jingle included? Maybe AMD can just give a better deal on the chips if they get in on the advertizing. RE:"with ~10% revenue share. When AMD has the capacity to supply 50% of the market, they should make a push in this area." I suppose it's catch 22. AMD will never get to 50% revenue share or even 25% if they don't share advertizing costs. This is how Intel keeps AMD depressed, IMHO.
