Install base is an interesting metric. I brought it up a while ago, and got met with profit-driven short-term metrics such as monthly/quarterly sales.
Does anyone know what the replacement rate of CPUs is?
I ask simply because it can give an indication of how long it would take for AMD to get to the 30% installed base that's referenced in that article.
If we assume the market overall is stagnant (last year was the first rise in ages), and know (roughly) how many CPUs are bought each month, and then extrapolate existing monthly/quarterly market share over a longer period of time, we can work out just when AMD hits that 30% install base share.
In other words, how long before Intel has a serious problem on it's hands.
If Intel can get 10nm working competitively by then, then Intel shouldn't really experience any serious problems.
