Competition Is Good -- 6:05 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Today we got some good news that competition is alive and well on the computing scene. AMD's marketshare rose from 18 to 22% in 2001. Also, ATi announced its own Radeon IGP chipset. AnandTech has all the details. It's good to see that they are keeping Intel and NVIDIA honest. Thanks to HardOCP for the links.

Now if ATi can only learn how to write drivers . . .

The Master comments: Every time I think AMD is going to end up on the ropes, they show they've got what it takes to play in the bigs. Thank goodness for that. Once Hammer comes out, they really have a chance at something awesome.

A.T. Hun comments: I just read in PC Magazine that there are rumors that Intel may be cloning Hammer because the Itanium looks like it will be a chip without a market. Now wouldn't THAT be a turn of events.
