Last week we noted that Intel's CFO Andy Bryant was quoted as saying they only lost 1% of market share to AMD in this quarter.
Well, in reading through the AMD conference call at Seeking Alpha we noticed that their management saw things differently:
Q - Michael Masdea
Yes, thanks a lot. I’ve just done the math; I’m trying to get a handle on how much market share you put in the quarter. Any estimates from your end? It looks like it’s a lot more than your competitor might have thought?
A - Hector Ruiz
Well, we have the numbers. A year ago, we had 9.6%; a quarter ago, we had 11.9%, and it looks like we had 15.3%.
If those numbers are true, then they're huge q/q gains, clearly more than Intel is letting on.
They could both be true. For one thing, AMD could be measuring in units and INTC in dollar volume, or vice-versa. For another, share of what isn't specified. It could be an apples-oranges thing.
