Quote: "AMD’s x86 Microprocessor Market Share Continues to Soar. AMD, Intel Solidify Positions, Change Roles "
Intel's market shares increased by 3.1% whereas AMD's market share increased by a mere 1.3%, and after all that AMD still have less than a quarter of the market share. Yet, the title seems to highlight AMD's gain of a mere 1.3% (magnitude wise smaller than Intel’s gain of 3.1%, and also smaller than the market share lost by the smaller players which I reckon is around 4.4%) inappropriately calling 1.3% as "Soar"!
The issue here is that smaller chip maker are being squeeze out of the market; our choice is soon going to be limited to just those x86s offered by the two big players. The title missed this point altogether. Don't you own it to your reader to rephrase the title of your article so that it presents a more balanced perspective?
