AMD yesterday announced some powerful results, proving that Intel's misfortunes are not all their own doing. And it looks like AMD's sucesses will continue well into 2006.
Their 4th quarter sales were $1.84 billion, up 45% from the fourth quarter in 2004. AMD's strongest growth was in its server business, followed by its mobile and desktop offerings.
And AMD are expecting sales to be flat in the traditionally quieter 1st quarter, which would equate to a 70% increase on the same period last year. AMD are taking real market share gains from Intel. The challenge will be for them to keep growing after this summer when Intel launch their dual-core processors.
But, It's up to AMD, for everyone likes to have another meaningful choice. It feels like the days when Intel could monopolise it's market may have ended.
