A little reality for AMD's desktop K6 CPU Retail-PC sales auditor Intelect ASW Marketing Services reported today that IBM captured the third-largest share of retail PC sales in March, with a 222 percent increase in unit sales compared with March 1997. That sales gain helped propel the company ahead of Packard Bell NEC, formerly the retail-market leader, which fell into fourth place as a result of a 46 percent decline in retail unit volume compared with last year. ... The Intelect ASW findings corroborated PC Data's results, released last week, which also ranked IBM in third place and Packard Bell in fourth. The company's strong AMD K6-based E Series PC sales spurred IBM's advance to third place. Market leader Compaq Computer has also benefited from strong sales of non-Intel PCs. Compaq nearly doubled its sales rate in March 1998, with a 94 percent increase over March of last year. *Note, Packard Bell is Intel only I wonder what kind of unit volumes Winbook ships?
