Re: Why anybody believes that the notebook market is primarily driven by processor performance is utterly beyond me. Things like price, screen size and weight are bigger factors.

AMD's dramatic share gains in the notebook space might indicate 64-bit capability as being something that is capable of driving shifts in market share.

Intel's loss of share after moving to lower ghz / higher IPC parts (even if performance is better with the high IPC parts) may also show a continuing bias for higher ghz.

Or it might just be a result of the lawsuit.

Regards,

Dan

CJ "price, screen size and weight are bigger factors" Couldn't agree more. Actually, tell me again why we even want dual core in a notebook??

Heat is a big factor for me. Also thin.
