Il sito americano Van's Hardware ha pubblicato un articolo dove viene analizzata la strategia adottata da AMD sotto molti punti di vista, pratici e non.
Alla fine dell'articolo appare chiaro che questa mossa abbastanza giustificata ha dato i frutti sperati, cioè un bilancio inaspettativamente positivo ed un recupero del terreno perso.

There's no doubt that Athlon XP made a huge impact when it debuted and its success continues unabated. The XP launch has generated tremendous demand; demand which has resulted in AMD running out of two speed grades. These achievements could produce yet another record breaking quarter as AMD works to exceed 8 million processors sold. If this was all part of AMD's intended master plan, they turned the tables on Intel and beat them at their own marketing game [ed: the XP's unrivaled performance levels also help].
