With the release of the ATI R600 and the K8L series of processors by mid-year, AMD should recover its initiative as a leader in the graphics and processor market. By the end of the year, their margins will strengthen and their market share in the processor market (now 25%), gives them residual strength that they did not previously enjoy. Furthermore, their planned "fusion" processor, a combined CPU/Graphics combo should be announced, possibly signaling a serious re-alignment of the personal computing paradigm and a strong avenue of growth for AMD.
