Vendors under pressure to drop AMD notebook plans: "A STORY ON Digitimes today suggests that large Taiwanese vendors Acer, Asustek and Benq are resisting pressure by Intel to stop them making notebooks using AMD chips.
The article doesn't say what kind of pressure Intel is putting on the Asian giants, but one thing is for sure, AMD has an Achilles' Heel in its underfunded notebook division.
At the introduction of the Athlon 64 at the Computex show in Taiwan last September, AMD was unable to show anything other than token notebook machines. It's currently putting its limited marketing funds into selling desktop and server chips, and faces big hurdles in making a breakthrough on the notebook front."
