There is a 130nm mobile Athlon64 coming in H1, and some 90nm mobiles coming in second half. Dothan will be swamped in a sea of higher performing low power competition well before this time next year.
Dream on, I think the earliest to realistically expect 90 nm parts from AMD would be the end of 2004 and these will probablly be desktop and not mobile parts. Actually one can make an arguement that AMD has yet to make Athlon64 in high volumes(millions) yet.

I'd take another look at AMD's mobile plans for 2004. Already AMD sells the best solution for desktop replacements (A64). There is a 130nm mobile Athlon64 coming in H1, and some 90nm mobiles coming in second half. Dothan will be swamped in a sea of higher performing low power competition well before this time next year.

More like desktop stove replacement. Perhaps you should
look at AMD's own datasheet.

A so-called mobile A64 1.8 GHz has a 81.5W TDP. Using
that crazy positioning logic Intel should target Deerfield at
the thin and light market with its paltry 55 W TDP.
