San Jose -- The world’s third largest computer maker, Lenovo Group Ltd., is rolling out a new line of desktop PCs with chips from Advanced Micro Devices, another sign that AMD is making inroads against rival Intel Corp.
 
Lenovo has long offered PCs with AMD chips in its home market of China, but not until February did Lenovo launch AMD-based PCs elsewhere, with a line of computers for small and medium-sized businesses. Now, AMD chips will be available in Lenovo's new ThinkCenter A60 PCs, which are targeted at big business customers.The systems are expected to be announced later this week.
 
Even while locked in an intense price war with AMD, Intel sells about 80% of the world's microprocessors. But AMD has eaten up about 5 percentage points of Intel's market share in the past year with better performing chips.
