Agree with you that gaining market share was critical and I was willing to endure the recent losses in order to get market share.

Unfortunately, I am not optimistic that they are making the progress that they need. Right now, if I remember right, they have around a 10% market share. Before Celeron, I was much more confident that AMD would succeed in increasing share, but now I am less sure.

Michael DaKota posted something recently that he thought that AMD would eventually be successful, but it might be the bondholders who would be the shareholders at that time. When Dresden comes on line AMD had better have a much larger market share or the common shareholders could wind up with nothing.
