Double Bingo!!! I believe Intel has a detailed strategy going forward relative to the laptop space! Intel has an initiative in-house that will result in the ratio of laptops to desktops deployed at 80:20 in favor of laptops. I believe Intel sees this type of scenario as a model for how the IT landscape may change going forward, i.e., increased and intense emphasis on mobility and connectivity, for both voice and data.

Excellent observation, IMHO.

What would be AMD's answer in this market as I understand than Athlon is still at the moment a power hungry animal and
I don't think K6 can compete effectively here.


Initially K6-2+ and K6-3+ will take care of it up to 600MHz. Later, one of the Athlon cores will show up in mobile form.
