I hate to say it tyler, but AMD isn't taking over the CPU market.
AMD does have better processors for gamers and their new dual cores and opterons are benchmarked and proven to out performance almost all of intels CPU's. But, when it comes to $$$ & Market Share... Intel still holds AMD in the palm of it's hand.
It's really funny because when I purpose to use an Athlon 3200+ in a custom build for a client, they always look at me and say, "a what?" Why not a P4? And I have to spend 10 minutes explaining why.
I'd say a huge majority of PC users don't even know that AMD exists. A lot of people confuse a CPU as simply being a Pentium Processor. They don't realize that there is another CPU maker on this planet.
How many Intel Commercials vs. AMD commercials do you see on TV?
Not to mention "DELL" only sells intel... Actually they are subcontracting "AMD" systems at customer request to a small taiwanese company... They won't even build them theirselves.. Because they can't because they are under a long contract with Intel to only use their CPU's. That stands true for a lot of OEM companies.
It's sad but true.
