"AMD generally does not make mobile part information available to the public as quickly as desktop part information, because there isn't much of a DIY market in notebooks."

Ok. Then there are some clues for you. What makes you think that notebooks are the only applications for low-power but well performing x86 processors? If you are not familiar with some of initiatives from the company you pump so much, here it is, for example:

amd.com

"In late 2003, Weber unveiled his vision for “x86 Everywhere,” highlighting the extensive benefits to be gained from the migration of low-power x86-based microprocessors into a myriad of new products and form factors, including PDAs, mobile phones, TVs, set-top boxes, and storage peripherals." - end of quote.

"Why don't you propose that your "management" sign the appropriate NDAs with AMD to have access to non-public information?"

Why don't you give a call to your management and tell them that their competition makes reference designs freely avaliable for general public, but AMD "generally" doesn't. Don't you think that this puts AMD at "some" disadvantage in capturing market share?

Competition's example:

Have a nice day,
