I though AMD sold off their comms business to fund their Jehad? Along with PLD and killing off 29K. Oh and I forgot, selling their headquarters and closing those Texas fabs. EP

Milo, Re: "2. What is AMD's offering for low power ultra-light notebooks? amd.com; Ultra light notebooks require power envelopes below 15W. The chips in this link don't qualify (by a large margin). "What is AMD's offering for hand held PDAs ? amd.com; I think he meant CPUs for PDA's. Although providing flash for PDA's is still a good service that AMD provides (not arguing this fact). "5. What is AMD's product offering in the 128 Megabit and 256 MegaBit flash memory? 128 Mb flashhttp://www.amd.com/us-en/FlashMemory/ProductInformation/0,,3..." Right you are. How about 256Mb, though? "6. What is AMD's offering in the 1 Gigabit Ethernet chip segment? Had since 1997http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_10..." This link leads to a "Gigabit Ethernet physical layer device", which is only part of a multichip gigabit ethernet chipset. Intel has reduced gigabit ethernet to single chip solutions, which reduce costs and improves reliability. The other link shows that AMD has single chip solutions for other ethernet standards, but they don't even have a single complete gigabit ethernet solution. "7. What are AMD's product offerings in wireless communications? more then enough search.amd.com; These are all commodity wireless chips. None of them offer complete professional solutions. Can you try a more specific link that I may have missed? "8. What are AMD's product offerings in Network Control Processors? amd.com. " "Communication with the Net186 board can be accomplished through either one of the two RS-232 serial ports or through the high-speed 10Mbps Ethernet 10Base-T port." Ooouuu... aaahhhh.... sweeet commodity networking.... ggrrllgr.... On the other hand, the point was that AMD's diversification in other areas outside of mainstream processors is limited compared to Intel's. You might have missed this point. wanna_bmw
