Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), the world's number two maker of microchips for personal computers, has sealed a deal to supply China's second-largest PC maker with chips, scoring its latest victory in a market share battle with bigger rival Intel. Reuters reported. Under an agreement signed on Thursday, Founder Technology would launch desktop computers based on the AMD64 processor in China next month, Reuters quoted AMD as saying. AMD and Founder plan to extend their tie-up into the notebook and server markets in the near future, according to the statement. Founder sold 2.5 million PCs in 2005, and commands about 12 percent of the Chinese market, according to IDC, versus about a third for Lenovo. But PC sales at Founder grew nearly 34 percent in the second quarter of this year from a year earlier.
