AMD CPUs To Land In Lots More Computers This Summer

AMD has long played second fiddle to rival Intel in most markets. The server market is very competitive between the two companies but in the desktop and notebook market, AMD has struggled to compete with Intel. Reuters reports that this summer is going to be a big one for AMD.

AMD reportedly has its CPUs set to be included in 109 mainstream notebook models in the coming months with the best rigs showing up in time for back to school shopping. In 2009, there were only 40 laptop models that used AMD processors.

AMD says that typically more models mean you can sell more CPUs, which should do a lot to help the bottom line at AMD. Last year AMD had 12.1% of worldwide CPU shipments and Intel had a whopping 87.8% of shipments. AMD will focus on the consumer segment where most growth is expected.
