but the speed of AMD's new notebook penetration is astounding -- beyond my wildess expectations

What data are you using as a basis for this part of your opinion?

I, too, feel that the Athlon 4 and Morgan are the tickets to salvation - its one area where AMD still has a completely unmatched product, is in a position to stay in the absolute lead in the MHz race, and something where ASPs are at much smaller risk. However, I haven't found any data indicating whether AMD has made any real headway in getting laptop makers signed up.

HP is the only real one, and they have only two products I believe. Compaq is there, but their story is getting muddled up in their recent memo indicating they are going to switch to one MPU vendor. Sony is there, but that story is muddled up in whether they actually have PowerNow! or not. So, its not at all clear to me that the Athlon 4 is a clear winner.

nForce is too late - I think the September back-to-school season is really what sets the tone of the entire holiday season. If nForce isn't there today, they have missed this BTS season.
