[VR-Zone] AMD Trinity APU Preview: Evolution or Devolution? - Page 33  

Here would be the other side. Anyway AMD managed to take market share (less then 1% it should be noted) in a soft quarter when sales actually dropped for both. I expect this year to be good for both companies and AMD may even continue to make inroads but I don't see Intel's dominance being threatened for a long time.
Anyway

As evidenced by the massive sales disparity between the two companies. And the vast majority of college students that want to play games are doing in on an xbox or playstation not their laptop. The fact you even think otherwise shows how out of touch you are. College kids get in a room together and drink and play video games not huddle around a laptop screen. Trinity basically will play your games at console levels which people already have consoles for. Again what is the point of this?

I also know a lot of people who play game's on low end laptops.
I build system's and assist in people picking out system's/laptops on the side and the most common question is "What can I get in the $450-500 price range". Half of them don't even understand what's going on with electronics or PC's out side of "I press this button and it turns on.." and have no problem playing game's on the lowest of quality and love it to death, they just don't know any better and really don't give a damn in the long run. I only actually know 3, maybe 4 people with decent competent rig's/laptops and most of them don't play game's. They use their PC's to run AutoCAD/Photoshop/Media rendering. My assumption is that out of the people who have high end machines, less than a quarter actually play game's on them. Instead they have a nice PC for work related usage/making money.
Just last week I was called insane for for my sig rig by a friend of a friend. He walked into my place and his eye's go huge. He pointed at my PC and asked "what the hell is that thing, and what do you do with it?" he actually didn't think it was just a PC. When I let him play BF3 (he plays console) He was shocked that game's could look that great...and I have what I consider to a mediocre PC.
You should look into PC buyer's demographics, You might be shocked at it.
