Mani, I have great doubts that AMD makes or sells any portables, however I do agree that 60% of the laptops sold use AMD CPUs, and that includes all kinds..Dell, etc.
If retail means you can shake the hand of the buyer then only the screwdriver shops do true retail.
As to the industry calling on line direct, they do it is called "direct retail". Indirect retail is where IBM ships to Office max and thus it is said that IBM is in indirect retail. The process of going to direct retail by phone, mail or the web is called "disintermediation"...the disappearance of the intermediary(Office max). So all the office Maxes are going to starve?, yes they are...or they will downsize to the point where they can still exist on what they can in fact sell by indirect retail.
