AMD to release Atom killer netbook CPUs tomorrow?

We've been hearing rumors of AMD's Atom killer CPUs for over a year now. Unfortunately, vapor doesn't help the bottom line -- it does however explain AMD's conspicuous absence from the deluge of netbooks now trumping laptops for shelf-space.

So seeing the chips on display at tomorrow's analyst conference is pretty much a given. Check back then for all the details.
