Intel says AMD may be gaining

In other news, Intel is actually acknowledging AMD for a change.  Intel usually refuses to comment on its most fierce rival in the processor market, but :

Intel acknowledged for the first time Thursday that rival Advanced Micro Devices may be gaining market share, and the two companies are locked in ``hand to hand combat.'

Intel Chief Financial Officer Andy Bryant said in a mid-quarter update conference call that ``if AMD is executing on their plan, they may be taking market share' from the Santa Clara company, which is the world's largest chip maker and dominates the personal computer microprocessor market.
