96.6 percent of CPU market is below $200
 

We wrote that AMD is now focusing more on the sub-€200 / $200 market here and there is a good explanation why. Obviously, the key reason is that AMD's K10 cannot really compete with Penryn at 3.0+ frequencies; but it looks like the sub-$200 segment pays 96.6 percent of the bills.

This is the best bang for the buck market and, according to Mercury, in 2008 it is expected that 96.6 percent of the market will be under $200. This mean that only 5.5 million CPUs that are planned to sell in 2008 are going to cost more than $200. Shocking, isn’t it?

not at all, since when did high end parts sell more than mainstream?

200 is even a lot for a processor....
