Thinkpad (AXcess News) Reno - Last month marked a new level of progress for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE: AMD) when it surpassed Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) as the leading supplier of processors for the US retail personal computer market. In October 2005, 49.8% of the personal computers (desktops and notebooks combined) sold in the US retail market utilized AMD processors, thus allowing AMD to narrowly surpass Intel, which accounted for 48.5% of the market. But can AMD hold its lead?
Processor Laptop computers used to fall short when comparing processing speed with desktop computers. With today's technology, however, those times are soon coming to an end. Manufacturers like Intel and AMD have stepped up their development and are now making processors for laptops that are quite comparable to those of desktops. This allows consumers who want portability to also have the speed and power they need.
Microsoft According to Current Analysis,AMD actually led Intel in the desktop category by a slight margin in the month of September as well; the company sustained growth in the category in October and, subsequently, extended its lead across the entire US retail PC category during the month.
The central or primary circuit board making up the complex computer system. Intel and AMD CPUs require their own motherboard chipsets and cannot be interchanged with each other; however, not all Intel or AMD CPUs will fit into a designated motherboard for that vendor. All CPUs have a certain "pin" or "socket" number, or simply a product name, which is also identified on a motherboard, certifying the board for the insertion of a certain CPU (i.e.: certified motherboard).
Laptop Computers While AMD's success in the US retail market cannot be ignored, Intel has a solid grasp on the number one spot when it comes to all US consumer PC sales because direct marketer Dell, the preeminent supplier of PCs in the US consumer market, utilizes Intel processors alone.
October serves as the transition between the back-to-school and winter holiday shopping seasons. The period between Black Friday and Christmas will ultimately define the success of the fourth quarter. However, these October sales results, as well as the well-documented rumor that Wal-Mart will offer a $398 AMD notebook and a $398 AMD desktop on Black Friday, indicate that AMD is in a stronger position to compete with Intel than it has been in past holiday seasons.
Looking forward, one can expect that AMD will attempt to replicate its October success throughout the all-important holiday season. According to Matt Sargent, Director of Research at Current Analysis, "AMD did the unthinkable by surpassing Intel in October. Continuing to hold this lead in the holiday season would be a colossal win for the company."
Apple' 1990s release of the iMac forever broke the tyranny of beige when it came to computer cases and put the idea of personalizing a computer into many, dare we say "envious, " PC hobbyists who were already building their own machines. While the vast majority of personal computers continue to be housed within dull, boring, beige cases, the last remaining archetype from the Jurassic days of the first IBM PCs (some twenty years ago) may be on the way out.
Laptop Computer The following numbers represent AMD's standing in other US retail PC spaces:
AMD's share of unit sales in the US retail desktop space increased from 52.0% in September to 67.7% in October.
AMD's share of unit sales in the US retail notebook space increased from 26.2% in September to 31.5% in October.
Despite the company's superior standing in the arena, AMDs October revenue share of retail PC sales (40.1%) trails that of Intel (57.6%) because the average selling price of Intel PCs is significantly larger than AMD PCs.

Desktop Computer But cost is king when it comes tothe U.S. consumer market going into the holiday season and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) looking at offering cheap computers to shoppers.
