AMD disputes Intel’s claim that PC sales have bottomed out
Silicon Valley chip competitors, Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, sure don’t seem to see eye to eye on much.
The companies have been squabbling for years over AMD’s claim that Intel has monopolized the microprocessor market. And they don’t share the same view about the economic state of the semiconductor industry.
Last month, Intel CEO Paul Otellini declared that the personal-computer sales slump had “bottomed out.”
But in an interview this week with Dow Jones Newswires, AMD CEO Dirk Meyer said not so fast.
“It’s still too early to definitely say we’ve hit bottom,” Meyer advised. “You can only point to the bottom once you’ve passed it, and I can’t say we’re past it.”
Will these two chip-makers every get on the same page? .

Go AMD! (fanboi chant)
I certainly hope not!!!
What’s wrong with prediction from Intel? If Intel sees increase in orders
and less cancellation of existing orders, then they could be right…
Arab Micro Devices’s CEO is disputing because his company may not
be getting new orders and seeing more cancellation.
That company is going to post another -ve quarter anyway
