Yousef, Bad news for Intel: K6-III More Popular that PIII-ruiner 4:13 p.m. CDT Source: e-mail Thanks to Christian Klass,the Golem Network News Editor-in-chief, for letting me know about a poll they did to find out which III cpu would be the most popular. Here's the results: Berlin, March 1, 1999 --- Golem Network News today announced the results of a poll amongst its readers that indicates AMDs K6-III CPU will be more popular than Intels new Pentium III. The poll with nearly 4800 participents was conducted between 12th and 15th of February 1999 on the website of the German IT-newsservice. About 38 per cent would like to buy an AMD K6-III as their next processor and only 22 per cent consider buying Intel's new flagship, the Pentium III. Results look better for Intels older CPU, the Pentium II which takes a strong lead against it's AMD counterpart, the K6-2. The somewhat slower AMD-CPU is a choice for only 11 per cent of the participants of the poll while about 15 per cent consider buying the Pentium II. The cheaper Intel Celeron models are prefered by nearly 15 per cent of the interviewees. These findings are confirmed by PC Data's January Retail Hardware Report, which concludes that the AMD-K6 processors outsold all Intel-based desktop PCs (including Pentium II and Celeron combined) in the U.S. retail market. The AMD-K6 processors accounted for about 44 per cent of all desktop PC unit sales in January, which marks a major milestone for AMD. For the first time a non-intel processor family leads the U.S. retail market.
