Quote:Gartner and IDC both agreed that Intel's CPU shortage affected the low end of the market and forced manufacturers to look elsewhere. There's a reason why AMD has finally established a foothold in the Chromebook market, for example, and why companies focused more on business-ready products than their consumer counterparts. There simply aren't enough Intel processors to support the low end of the PC market right now.
...
These findings support what we've already suspected: that Intel is far from the only company affected by its processor shortage and that manufacturers are turning to AMD for their CPUs rather than simply waiting for Intel to ramp up production. Finding evidence of those claims from one research firm would be validating; finding it from two firms that don't agree on pretty much anything is even more so.
