There are two big guns making cpu’s right now:
- INTEL – the Microsoft of the CPU world. Makes CPU’S like the old 486, Pentium and Pentium-X brands, Celeron and Xeon. The Celeron is their “Low-Level” chip, while the Pentium-X is the mainstream chip. Xeon’s are for servers.
- AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) – slowly but surely, they’ve been chipping into INTEL’S market share by producing CPU’S that perform comparably to INTEL. K6-X processor was when AMD hit the mainstream. Current offering are DURON similar market to Celeron, Athlon and Thunderbirds.
