Intel sales "Although Intel chips were in only 18.5 percent of sub-$1,000 PCs, it led the $1,000-$1,500 market with 65.7 percent of sales and captured nearly all sales of PCs priced above this mark, PC Data said." As you can see Intel's sales are concentrated in the most profitable sectors. As long as PC sales continue with double digit growth year over year, I don't see anything changing much. If and when we get a decline in that growth of some magnitude then problems arise for both Intel and AMD --- but for different reasons. ============== Just as anecdotal evidence of lack of fall-off in demand, my less than fully computer literate friends are saying it is impossible to have one computer in the house with children above the age of 10. The kids want the machine. You have to buy a second one. I don't think this was true a year ago. Homes are not only getting computers but many computers.
