I would suspect that if the article is true, Intel will be putting even
more
resources into the X86

AMD surpasses Intel in U.S. PC market, says firm
EE Times

MANHASSET, N.Y. — Microprocessor supplier AMD Inc. has scored a minor
victory in its long uphill fight to wrestle the processor market from
Intel Corp., as the company overtook its archrival in the U.S. retail PC
sector, according to market reseach firm Current Analysis.
The firm noted that in October, processors from AMD (Sunnyvale, Calif.)
were in 49.8 percent of desktop and notebook PCs sold, compared to 48.5
percent from Intel (Santa Clara, Calif.).
AMD has been tugging on Intel’s hold in U.S. retail desktop sales in
recent months. The company saw its market share of unit retail sales in
desktop PCs here increase from 52 percent in September to 67.7 percent in
October. Unit sales in U.S. retail notebook PCs also increased, from 26.2
percent of the market in September to 31.5 percent in October, said the
firm.
On a revenue basis, AMD has a way to go before catching Intel, however.
October revenue share on U.S. retail PC sales was 40.1 percent, trailing
Intel’s 57.6 percent share. This is due to the average selling price of
Intel PCs being significantly higher than AMD PCs, said Current Analysis.
The firm said that Intel remains the leader in all U.S. consumer PC sales
if one takes into account direct channel sales. Dell, the leading PC
supplier here, utilizes Intel processors alone.
