marking what is believed to be the first time the AMD has outsold Intel in a

Yes, Found to be completly wrong by other sources..
The sample rates of this all seems to be where the flaws come in, I think
it's easier to just look at the raw # of processors sold (granted that
number is highly error prone too)

I think they mentioned that in the overall PC market that same week, Intel
had 61%, and AMD had 38%. Still pretty respectable, even if it was just for
one week.
