Much ado about nothing? Definitely not how I read it. BUT, what is surprising about that ?

Gateway is now putting its full brand identification behind AMD, something that it deliberately moved away from under ted wait(ed too long). This is a gratuitous slap against intel, unless further such steps are coming. Gateway may now be moving decisively into the AMD stable.

Nothing to get excited about?

AHEM!!!

Gateway just told Intel to go fuck themselves (pardon my French)!! The Gateway-brand is now behind AMD too. Not just eMachines anymore. That is big and great news for AMD. AMD will get more exposure inside a ‘Gateway’ than inside an ‘eMachines’. Luckily they are now in both.

Keith - except that perhaps Gateway might give AMD a better ASP than eMachines, since they will sell them for more than their eMachines? Since they're more and more in demand, AMD is in a stronger dealing position than they were when eMachines started making them.

Keith,

I disagree. Even if it is identical machine with a different sticker, it helps AMD, because it gives AMD some self space, and for those ordering online, a choice. More importantly, it is a crack in the Intel only policy, which may lead to other things, especially a gaming geared machine on the desktop.
