Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on AMD (NYSE: AMD) price target of $10.00.

Analyst, Bobby Burleson, said, "We reiterate our rating on AMD following HP's (NYSE: HPQ) launch of the Envy Sleekbook, based on AMD's Trinity APU. Prices for Envy Sleekbook start at $599, versus a $749 starting price for Envy Ultrabooks powered by Intel. We note that Ultrabook penetration could be constrained in 2012 due to high price points (Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) saying 40% exiting 2012, we think 25% is optimistic). We believe this announcement and others likely to follow throughout Q2 will keep investor focus on AMD's ASP and share gain opportunities, rather than concerns over PC macro."
