NEW YORK (FORTUNE) - Intel has finally admitted it's fallen behind, and now
seems determined to bounce back.
At its analyst meeting on Thursday, the company acknowledged throughout its
recent decline in market share, technological leadership, and - as of the
recently-announced quarter - profit margins.
It might seem obvious for a company to acknowledge such things, but along
with Intel's longtime status as one of the tech industry's two central
monopoly-owners came a certain arrogance and complacency.
But AMD's relentless march in both quality and market share gains woke Intel
(Research) up. AMD (Research) may be only about 15% Intel's size, but it now
commands an outsize industry influence.
