After facing what seemed an insurmountable decline in desktop PC sales during the first six months of 2005, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) captured a 52% share of the US retail desktop PC market in September, according to Current Analysis. AMD?s performance during the back-to-school shopping season topped chip giant Intel?s 46% share by six points, said the market research firm.
