Re: New AMD Mobile CPUs/GPUs coming with DirectX 11 and bga form factor to support ultra-light notebooks.

In 2011? Won't Intel be ramping the generation *after* Nehalem by then?

In the mean time, it looks like AMD won't have mobile quad cores until next year, and nothing really interesting or different for 2 years. I'm still waiting to see what frequencies they can run at when they take K10 micro-architecture down to 45W and lower TDPs.
