Intel may have upper hand in processor war, for now

by Darren

Despite the number of AMD fanboys in the world, it looks like Intel is still kicking butt in the processor war. And it doesn’t look like things will change anytime soon, based on current views.

AMD’s woes were underscored earlier this week when it said that lower prices and unit sales meant that first-quarter revenue would be about $1.23 billion, 20 percent below the average Wall Street forecast.

“AMD had superior products a year to two years ago and for the first time was able to have prices above Intel’s, and Intel was having to be competitive on pricing to clear inventories” said Cody Acree, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus.

Things could change in a second. Time will tell what happens next in the great processor war.
