| 2006 notebook chips mean an Intel-AMD standoff FOR THE SECOND part of our yearly look ahead, we go from desktop chips to laptop parts. This one is a little more confusing, and has a lot more cloud and smoke surrounding it than either desktop or server chips. Either way, it starts out with Intel having a pretty clear lead in a lot of ways, but AMD gaining market share anyway. Turion was launched late, slow, and with all the furore of a frightened child hiding in a corner. The supply situation has gotten vastly better over the past several months, but only in the retail channel. For corporate laptops, Intel and the Pentium M still rule. http://theinquirer.net/?article=28624
