AMD: Our Goal Is to Control 100% of AMD-Compatible Chipset Market
 

The head of Advanced Micro Devices products group – Rick Bergman – has confirmed that the company’s ultimate goal is to control 100% of AMD-compatible core-logic market.

For years Advanced Micro Devices has said that one of the advantages its central processing units (CPUs) have over competing Intel Corp.’s offerings is their broad support by chipsets from Nvidia Corp., Silicon Integrated Systems Corp., Via Technologies and so on. However, after the company acquired ATI Technologies back in 2006 and started to sell its own-brand core-logic sets, it became clear that AMD wants a piece of the chipset market to boost its revenue.

SiS and Via Technologies have not released any new core-logic sets for AMD platform for several years now, but, according to AMD, Nvidia Corp. still controls 43% of the AMD-compatible chipset market. AMD claims that this is going to change shortly and that the company’s goal is to have 100% of the market.

that's going to be easy since none of the main competitors are releasing new chipset for the current and next generation platforms... so wait a few years and all the old systems will be replaced, AMD chipset remains.
