Andreas,

also why I think that AMD should be much more aggressive in pricing the mobile parts.

I pointed the same thing out when A4 was launched. AMD should have priced it at about the same price as the equivalent desktop chip (equivalent desktop chip of 1 GHz part being probably 1.3 GHz desktop chip) - around $200 to $250. With these prices, AMD has no revenue, no market share increase, and no advantage from beating Tualatin to market by a quarter.

Whatever the chipset issues are, AMD wouldn't have them if they finished by now a mobile version of 760 chipset. At this point, I don't believe AMD will ever learn. There is an outside possibility that NVidia will bail out AMD, but I don't think I am going to bet money on it.
