I don't care AMD or Intel . If AMD released 8 cores mobile CPU that beat Intel in most benchmark + High Turbo Boost / Turbo Core Frequency (low power consumption is a "must" because I don't want to use laptop like a cooker) , I would ditch Intel
In other words you would buy from AMD again if they actually made good cpus. Just like everyone else on the planet. The problem is that's a big "if" at this point. Also I doubt the usefulness of an 8 core cpu on a laptop at this point.

Of course, they're a bit too weak for most gamers, but it's more than enough muscle to handle most emulation up to N64/PSX (the only reason I'm interested in it), HTPC tasks, and general computing for the office drones. Heard these machines run hot atm, but that's pretty much a given. Personally, I'd like to see this category of desktop evolve (so I can finally get the perfect emu-console).
This is basically a nettop/small HTPC. They've been around for a long time but never been heavily marketed. Lately it seems Intel is trying to market lots of new low profile platforms since the PC marketplace is beginning to recede. They're looking for a replacement for traditional PCs basically. None of them have really stuck though. I don't understand the point in making desktops (a system that isn't designed to be portable and usually stays in the same place all the time) smaller.
