No I didn't. You know that AMD was very strong for those that built their own computers a couple of years back. They had one big market share for home users and maybe that processor was the big money maker for hardware sellers.
The impact that internet had then wasn’t that big as it is now. When anandtech presented numbers about Nehalem the response was enormous. More and more companies are using internet as their main marketing area. I don’t think that the Intel marketing section skips this area.
It isn’t hard to draw these conclusions if you think about it. Quad users are very low compared to other users. This market is also not comparable with other markets. It is hard to find markets that only have two contenders worldwide. If Intel and AMD hadn’t been US companies I can assure you that actions had been taken because we all need competition.

It is also interesting to see that the reviews made in English differ some with reviews in other languages. It seems that German sites are much more positive to AMD compared to US sites.
