Atom screwed up Intel's mobile in Q1 !
According to the figures, Intel shipments fell by 33 percent in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of last year. That means, said IDC that Intel held overstocks of Atom chips in the new year.
This is not Intel's the worst trouble.
Perhaps more worryingly for Intel, IDC assesses that the cheap as chip Atoms represented 21 percent of its mobile PC processor shipments in the first quarter.
According to IDC, Intel held 77.3 percent share in Q1 2009 - losing 4.7 percent, while AMD held 22.3 percent, a gain of 4.6 percent. The only other X86 player is Via, which held a miniscule 0.4 percent share. In the desktop sector, Intel held 70 percent while AMD held 29.8 percent.
BADHARDWARE: Intel is currently superior only in mobiles, that Atom abruptly fucked up. Now it is superior in nothing.
