 AMD to Release New CPU for Laptops Wed, 4 June 2008 Nobody needs a decent product like AMD...
 Oooooh...shiny.... The new line of CPUs, named 'Puma', sport decent video processing capabilities, as well as power-conserving features, allowing Puma laptops to function as reasonable mobile game and media platforms.
“Our execution troubles of 2007 have been well documented,” [the computing solutions Senior Vice President Randy] Allen said. “These new products are central to our return to sustained profitability, and central to our restoring confidence.” Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba planned to announce that they would be among the first makers of computers to sell systems using Puma chips.
The launch follows AMD's recent announcement that it had just suffered its sixth consecutive quarterly loss, likely at the hands of Intel's market stranglehold. Intel currently holds an 85% share of the laptop CPU market.
- New York Times The timing of this launch may prove advantageous for AMD, with Intel's 'Montevina' Centrino updates delayed until mid July.
