Funny how hardly any Athlon-based laptops have shown up between then and now.

What's AMD's laptop marketshare now? A bit more than "hardly any" I'd imagine. Also, the P4-M is going to be relegated to the desktop replacement market. Do you think that the P4-M will cross-over with the PIII-M in units shipped this year? Personally, I'd go with an Athlon4 based on PowerNow. How fast is a P4-M going to be running at 1.2 GHz on batteries?

Andrew, update on P4-M performance:

pcmag.com

Business Winstone 2001 degrades 3.5% when transitioning to battery-saving mode on P4-M. No results on CC Winstone 2001, though.

Oh, and Athlon 4 1.3 GHz (QuantiSpeed rated 1500+) scored 41.7% less than a P4-M at 1.7 GHz. The credibility of "QuantiSpeed" is starting to collapse with the mobile segment.

Tench, re: "Funny how hardly any Athlon-based laptops have shown up between then and now."

AMD stated in their 4Q01 CC:

"Yeah, I think that were we stand is that we will probably close the end of
the fourth quarter being somewhere around 40% share of the US Retail mobile
market, not quite as strong as we had hoped.

jc-news.com

AMD's stated goal from prior CC was 50% by year-end. They did make quite a recovery from basically zero in mid-year. This is probably a small sector of the mobile market and AMD's statement certainly doesn't match many of the observations noted by SI posters wrt products on the shelves.
