AMD is HP's monopolist in China !?

That might badly hurt AMD's anti monopoly law suit against Intel?. Due to Shanghai Daily, more than 70 percent of HP's personal computers sold in China use AMD's CPU chips. Lenovo in China is 85% occupied by AMD. However, in the IT retail markets in 30 major Chinese cities, AMD captured 35 percent of the market in March based on sales in the desktop computer sector against 29 percent a year ago, said retail industry survey firm GFK. Well, that means AMD is not monopolist in the whole China desktop market. Beside, AMD's market share will grow to 30 percent in China in the next one or two years from last year's 18 percent, Rose Wang, AMD China's marketing director, said in a previous interview.

A year ago, Intel occupied more than 85 percent of the domestic China market, and it still dominates the high-margin laptop chip segment. Thus, Intel is still a worldwide monopolist. For a long time, AMD controlled 15 percent of the Chinese CPU market compared with Intel's 80 percent, according to Beijing-based CCID Consulting, a research firm under the Ministry of Information Industry. Quantity is the main concern in China so, the race now is still on who has more friends?
