AMD Gains on Intel in x86 Chip Market: Mercury Research

[JumpingJack]

Well, that's what they are saying but Intel's revenue went
up due through the inclusion of McAfee and Infinion Wireless.
not due to processor sales.

Yep, this certainly has the possibility of being true. This would be somewhat surprising, I would not have thought Infineon or McAfee to contribute quite so large to make the 13.1 Bill.

Edit: Atom v Ontario, it would be ludicrious to not assume Intel will lose some (a lot ) of atom share to Ontario, by way of netbook market, since AMD just entered with a counter product. It will be interesting to see how that market plays out, the volume is high but, relatively speaking, revenue is low... I am wondering if within a few years time if that market is basically abandoned since there are now huge forces tugging it apart -- i.e. a new, more than competitive product from AMD, Intel as a waining incumbent, and the tablet effect pretty much squeezing it from all directions.
