the article reports a market share gain by AMD set against a market share loss by intel; what it fails to do is explain that AMD has been increasing their capacity, while Intel has yet to ramp 45nm. In a market where demand is growing quickly, Intel will sell out and walk away from low margin sales, thereby allowing AMD to pick up additional low end share.

But I am having problems finding a laptop I want that is not preloaded with Vista. There are still a few being flogged with XP, which would be acceptable. But I won't have Vista. Perhaps the burst of mobile chips are people like me rushing to get the last of the XP loaded laptops?

CPU technology is really hitting s tride again with 65nm rolling and 45nm just around the bend. Let's see ANY company start making a higher end DX10 mobile gpu to go along with these insane 2.8+ghz dualcore notebooks! Sheesh.
