Unfortunately, I don't this "game on" is appropriate here. AMD never had any true laptop platform which challenged Intel's offerings. They still don't, and probably in the near future they still won't.

I'm not anti-AMD at all. More than half of my desktop machines in the household are AMD-based. However, AMD has always been grossly lacking in the mobile department.

Lucky for AMD, and unlucky for Intel, the market for ultra low voltage CPUs has always been very small relative to the general laptop needs of business and private consumers. Therefore AMD doesn't stand to lose very much.

AMD's Yukon platform is a BlackJack. Remember that.
Rock solid,fast and reliable.
Bang for bucks.
