AMD Warns of Weaker Earnings: Computer chip maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. projected weaker third-quarter results, the latest victim of Intel Corp.’s success in making its Pentium chip the standard for personal computers. Other chip makers suffered too. Intel is riding the wave of Microsoft Corp.’s Windows 95 operating software, since users are upgrading to the most powerful machines to take advantage of the new operating software. Intel has cut prices dramatically for Pentium chips and as a result demand for the previous generation 486 chips has fallen. The San Francisco-based company blamed its shortfall on flat unit sales and sharply lower prices for its Am486 microprocessor.
