A mix of duty revisions, price cuts and aggressive promotions buoyed the consumer desktop segment in the third quarter of 2004 with unit shipments touching 2,83,000 units, translating into a 30 per cent year-on-year growth.
"The growth was faster than expected at 10 per cent sequentially and 30 per cent year-on-year. While the AMD-Linux combination generated generous enthusiasm in the market in 2003, duty revisions, price cuts and year-round promotions have kept the market buoyant in 2004," according to a recent IDC report.
