Re: Makes it easy to do a side by side comparison. HP recently introduced an AMD-based desktop and a notebook for their business line. In another couple of quarters it might look like their consumer offerings. Given the price differential, that would make HP de facto exclusively AMD.
I wouldn't go that far. At some point, no matter how much further you discount the CPU, the impact to the TCO for the systems, software, and services won't be materially affected.
