In 1980, Microsoft formed a partnership with IBM to bundle Microsoft's operating system with IBM computers; with that deal, IBM paid Microsoft a royalty for every sale. In 1985, IBM requested Microsoft to develop a new operating system for their computers called OS/2.
Nhưng OS/2 rất là "bựa" chẳng ai đoái hoài tới, thế là IBM hỏng
Why AMD Is Intel’s Only Competitor (INTC, AMD)

When it comes to buying a Windows-based laptop or PC, consumers are faced with only two real choices for the maker of the CPU (the central processing unit or "brains" of the computer): Intel Corp (INTC) or Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD). Both companies were founded over 50 years ago in what has become the Silicon Valley part of California.
Yet, in half a century, no other major player has been able to dominate the semiconductor market segment the way these two companies have. We'll take a look at the history of competition between Intel and AMD and try to explain why AMD has been, and remains, Intel's only real competitor.
For much of its history, AMD has been the persistent underdog to Intel in the semiconductor space. Intel has tended to dominate all sectors of the CPU market, including high-end performance processors. AMD focused on lower-cost, budget-friendly middle- and low-range chipsets. For many years, Intel chips had the reputation of being more stable and easy to use for the average computer user. Meanwhile, sophisticated users who knew their way around a circuit board were able to tinker with AMD's chips, which could be overclocked (a method for getting a CPU to run at a faster speed).
For many years it seemed like AMD was destined to play second fiddle to Intel in microprocessor market share. Up until about 2016, AMD controlled around one-quarter of the CPU market, while Intel dominated more than 70%.

AMD Cutting into Intel's Market Share
In March 2017, AMD introduced its highly successful Ryzen microprocessor, positioning it as a more affordable alternative to high-end CPUs and a product capable of challenging the best of Intel's chips. The Ryzen microprocessor was a completely new design capable of breaking overclocking records while still being affordable for the budget-conscious consumer.

The speedy, high-performing Ryzen boosted AMD's sales. In 2019, AMD had 23% of the CPU market share, and by Q3 2021, the company had nearly 40% of the total CPU market. For desktop computers, AMD had 32% of the market in 2019, and as of 2021, the market share is 50/50 between Intel and AMD. Although AMD still lags behind Intel, the company's products are gaining market share.
