Overclocked Phenom II effect: AMD's 1Q'09 market share up to 21%

CDsDontBurn · May 4, 2009, 06:27 AM

In a run-up to the launch of the ATI Radeon HD 4890, we heard a lot of rumors coming from Taiwan about the lack of AMD 7-series chipsets, and how sales of AMD CPUs are taking off in a really big way etc. The most radical bit of information came from one of Top 3 motherboard vendors, who said to us in confidence that they went from 8% AMD 92% Intel to a 70:30 mix with the tendency of going 60:40 in Intel's favor during Q2.
