What marketing company printed those server share numbers, and how many Celeron "servers" from Dell were included so that Dell could claim high server market share.

My numbers of 65% market share is for two socket servers and above if I remember correct.
Single socket servers numbers are not worth the paper they are printed on.

For four socket servers and above AMD has ~100% market share.
Intel just introduced a four socket board after having abandoned the market for the past few years, so maybe Intel has non-zero numbers now.
