i'm also stoked to see that amd is gaining ground in laptops, with 28.9% of overall revenues and 28.3% of unit sales. that's up from last quarter, and it just goes to show that amd is really pushing to be competitive in all areas. and let's be real, it's not like intel is just going to roll over and let amd take the lead. intel still owns 70% of the overall cpu market by unit sales, which is just crazy.



one thing that really stands out to me is how much inertia there is in the cpu market. i mean, amd has had some really competitive cpus out for years now, and yet intel still dominates. it's not all about merit, sadly - there are a lot of other factors at play, like supply and demand, and how much manufacturing capacity each company has. still, it's exciting toRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
