Keith, what do you think is AMD's exposure in the mobile space with Turion DC's schedule still unknown. Do you see AMD losing share after 1Q, or will it take 2 or 3 quarters of roadmap gap before Intel could gain back share?

Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi review (Yonah powered)

The biggest draw comes from the guts of this system. The TravelMate 8204WLMi comes with the much-anticipated Intel Core Duo T2500 (2.0 GHz) dual-core processor, a ridiculous amount of RAM (2GB), and ATI's newest graphics board, the Mobility Radeon X1600. Its SYSmark 2004 SE scores reached an all-time high for a mobile processor, at 291 for Internet Content Creation and 175 for Office Productivity. That's 40 percent and 25 percent higher, respectively, than the HP Pavilion dv4000, a single-core notebook and our previous Editors' Choice. It completed our Adobe Photoshop scripts in 71.4 seconds, a whopping 51 percent faster than the HP Pavilion dv5000z, another single-core unit. It finished our Windows Media Encoder tests in 7 minutes 37 seconds, a very impressive feat.

I said these typical notebook performance comparisons won´t look pretty, Yonah vs. Turion, and they don´t.
