AMD IS YOUR DADDY! .


San Diego (CA) - AMD scored a major win against Intel during the back-to-school season. According to Current Analysis, AMD outsold Intel for the very first time in US retail over the period of a whole month. More than half of all computer systems US stores sold during September carried an AMD processor.

Aside its usual legal, marketing and PR battles against Intel, AMD surprised analysts with a unexpectedly strong performance in US retail. Tony Duboise, analyst with Current Analysis, said that the company was able to sometimes surpass Intel's US retail sales in some weeks in the past, but the fact that it kept the lead over a whole month is unprecedented.

Some factors would be the intel chipset/ motherboard shortage , and maybe the fact that the Xbox is no longer in production , which used an intel pentium III , either way this spells a big future for AMD , who will begin to compete with intel on more and more equal grounds , especially if they win the latest court battle .
