Default AMD: Netbooks? No, thanks

If I had to pick one computing topic that determines this year’s CES then it would certainly be small notebooks - and netbooks in particular. Intel has conquered the segment with its Atom processor and Via is still trying to get some design wins here and there. We know that AMD does not have a small enough processor that could fit into a netbook and we also know that the company may not have such a chip for several years. However, the company told us that it is not interested in developing a competitor for Intel’s Atom anyway, since it believes that the market right between cheap netbooks and Apple’s Macbook Air will be much larger. Is AMD right?
