re: So now AMD is losing share in server, game, retail, and possibly desk-top in general. They have some notebook share to gain, mainly because computer maker want them to be viable competition to Intel. But will that keep going, or plateau at subsistence level ?

One thing that bothers me about notebooks is that almost every AMD-based Dell notebook (and the others, too) that you see have 15.4" or 17" screens with (only) XGA. I saw an article that mentioned Japan's love for larger screens and in particular SXGA, SXGA+ and on up to UXGA resolutions. As I said before, these low powered notebooks with XGA screens are OK for displaying the kitchen recipe for the turkey, but not much else. It will be interesting to see just how many of these are in demand...

I think performance still works...
