SZ, Re: "According to Taiwanese notebook makers, Centrino notebooks now account for about 50-60% of their total notebook shipments. The ratio is expected to rise to 75% later this quarter, thanks to Intel’s price cuts on October 5. "

Simply amazing. This has to get the award for fastest ramp in history. Hard to believe this part was only launched this past March - less than 7 months ago, and already has more than half of a very significant market.

If Centrino is "pulling its weight," Intel will give some numbers in its CC. I don't see it at retail stores like Best Buy and Circuit City where they don't even get much display space.

The "75% later this quarter" seems absurd to me.
