AMD said it would be able to increase production capacity at its main Dresden chip plant by four times within the next three years and be in a position to supply a third of the market for the dominant "x86" microprocessors by 2008. <\/font><\/p>\n

AMD increased its market share to 21.1 per cent in the first quarter, according to Mercury Research, up from 16.9 per cent a year earlier. It has benefited from manufacturing slip-ups by Intel, which ran short of components, and the superior performance of its processors in the server market. <\/font><\/p>\n

During a technology day at its Silicon Valley headquarters, the company presented a road map to analysts on the future direction of its processors. <\/font><\/p>\n

It said one with four brains – a quad core – would appear from the middle of next year and performance-per-watt, a measure of power-saving efficiency, would increase by 60 per cent on servers based on its Opteron processor in 2007 and would be 150 per cent better in 2008. <\/font><\/p>\n

However, AMD will be a year behind Intel with its next-generation architecture on this timetable. Intel begins to roll out its new processors this month and has moved from 90 nanometre or billionths of a metre to smaller 65-nanometre circuitry well ahead of AMD. <\/font><\/p>\n

AMD sought to convince analysts it could compete with Intel’s manufacturing might. It said 65nm-based processors would ship by the end of this year and 45nm circuitry would follow 18 months later, with 32nm on course for two years after that. <\/font><\/p>\n

AMD shares closed 1.6 per cent higher in New York at $31.39. <\/font><\/p>\n
