>Or designing in Intel's new Tualatin - lower power yet faster than an AThWiper4US - and a LOT CHEAPER because of the 83 sq. mm die size vs. 128 sq. mm AthWiper4US?<

Absolutely correct. It was a major blunder for AMD to delay introducing the small form factor Athlon 4. Tualatin will capture a large market share very rapidly, and AMD will not have another opportunity for a major coup until mobile Barton.

Nevertheless, AMD did have 50% of the mobile market until about a year ago, and while mobile Athlon 4 may be fairly limited, except at depressing mobile PIII margins, mobile Duron will enable AMD to recapture the low end market that K6 once dominated.
