BAD HARDWARE WEEK

AMD aims to see 12 million notebooks use its CPUs this year, or 15% of the global notebook market, according to industry sources.

Intel has dominated the notebook market for years, with AMD having had less than 10% of the market. However, with the recent addition of the Turion 64X2 processors to its product range, AMD is now well equipped to boost its market share, the sources commented.

The sources revealed that over half of Hewlett Packard (HP) notebooks use AMD processors, and these models are chiefly for the European and American markets. For Acer, the AMD proportion is 35%, the sources added.

Yet another incredible disappointment for Intel?.

Major notebook makers estimate worldwide notebook shipments will reach 80 million units this year, the sources said.
