Intel took a lead against AMD in 64-bit processors for mobile computers, International Business Times reports.
“Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) took an early lead against rival Intel Corp. in the 64-bit mobile computer market last year. However new data released today shows that Intel grabbed the lead in December, becoming the top 64-bit CPU provider in only four months,” the report says.
Intel Core 2 Duo mobile CPU took the 64-bit lead with a 24 percent market share compared to AMD’s Turion 64 X2 chips with a 20 percent, IBT reports according to Current Analysis market researcher’s data.
“Its is expected that growth of the Intel Core 2 Duo processor will continue in 2007 with the recent announcement of Intel’s addition of 802.11n wireless cards to its products lines and the slow but increasing awareness of 64-bit computing and the availability of 64-bit versions of the upcoming Vista operating system,” Current Analysis researcher Hans Casto noted.
