Amusingly, in Q2 this year, AMD actually gained in the mobile/PC market (likely aided by Llano’s release), and lost a little in the server market. These are small changes though, and actually against the general trend of the past few quarters. Lets see how 2011 ends.

^ i think what made the little bit of rise in the PC segment is the stalling of the FX and announcing that the 900-series chipset supports them, it made people buy rigs based on 900-series boards in advance thinking "bulldozer bulldozer! wooo bulldozer!", and the Llano's successful "2in1" processors for low budget consumers.

The report is only about microprocessor unit shipments though, not motherboard SKUs and other peripheral products.
kitamesume:
no i mean whole rigs, motherboard+processor being bought in advance. people were thinking "i`ma buy me a phenom II rig and change the proc to bulldozer later" or something like that.

What I said about wholesale of AMDs on schools/network gaming is limited only in Asia. What's this thing about AMD going to fail/lose? AMD holds a little share in the PC market ever since and when it comes to revenues Intel still earns billions of $. I remember during Athlon days the "average joes" are avoiding Athlon because of additional cooling fan requirement. Some felt they wasted their money on their 'overheated' Athlon because they don't have any idea on 3rd party cooling fans. This was a low-blow for AMD and somehow they manage to survive. Pentium4 was like $100 more expensive than Athlon and all you need is a descent $15 cooling solution. The average joes didn't change from 10 years ago, what's running on their mind now is i3/i5/i7...while x6/bulldozer/fusion wtf is that? It's sad that 70% of the world is 'average joe' and they are fooled by Intel and Apple. oh btw Linux and Hackintosh have little support on AMD. Meh, It's just a matter of choice right? Most will drive Ford/GM/Toyota but only a select few will drive Volkswagen/Subaru...oops maybe a bad example idk their prices it depends where you are.
