In spite of AMD's growing mobile market share, Nvidia seems to be doing rather well in the high-end mobile market. Although this is a small niche market of marginal direct financial importance, it still means a lot from a prestige, or marketing point of view. This is where AMD truly stands to reap the benefits of the Nvidia 8-series issue. Many of the affected notebook models were pricey machines with high-end graphics, as most consumers tend to be very sensitive when it comes to expensive hardware which fails to live up to expectations.

Of course, we didn't get much info on actual upcoming products, mobile GPUs usually follow their desktop brethren within six months, although AMD told us it could be done a bit faster, too. As RV710/730 chips are supposed to show up in mid-September, you should probably expect mobile versions in mid or late Q1 2009.
