semi, Don't you wonder why there are no Palomino Laptops? My guess is that they can't control the heat. From X-bit Labs: The first mobile Palominos will be clocked at approximately 1GHz. Meanwhile, in spite of a more elaborated core, heat dissipation is to be not so great as that of similar mobile Pentium III CPUs. xbitlabs.com Pravin.

OK Semi, Joe, and others, this is getting ridiculous. Intel's 1 GHz mobile Pentium III is out, and it is a legitimate product, not some desktop chip shoehorned into a laptop. To suggest this would be a slap in the face to the hard-working engineers who toiled in the face of tough economic times to beat already aggressive schedules. On the other hand, mobile Palomino will indeed be out when it is good and ready. The release of the 1.33 GHz Athlon is evidence that, like Intel, AMD's days of vapor launches are over. Not only that, but with PowerNow and prices that will probably undercut Intel's comparable products, Palomino should rightly be revered and feared by its competitors, including Intel and Transmeta (sort of). So maybe it's Intel's abysmal stock performance that's ticking you off, Semi. (It's certainly ticking me off, no doubt.) Or it's the constant AMDroid desire to see Intel's downfall just as much as AMD's success that drives you, Joe. No matter what, I'm getting tired of this. Tenchusatsu
