AMD to ship chips in 109 laptops this year?

Fresh off its world-dominating streak in the desktop graphics market, AMD set sights on notebook territory; now, according to "people familiar with the matter," the company's scored a big win there, too. Sources told Reuters that the chipmaker's notebook CPUs will power 109 different laptops over the months to come, compared to only 40 laptop models last year. It seems part of the newfound success is attributable to HP -- which announced twelve mainstream 'tops just last week -- but we're more interested in the mysterious quad-core Phenom II X4 machines leaking out the likes of Acer and Dell. What can we say? We're suckers for a surprise, especially of the portable, multi-threaded variety.

I'm curious why HP is adding more AMD laptops, surely they are acutely aware of the battery deficiency of AMD CPUs.

Engadget needs to interview them to find out.

@cray Because AMD powered laptops can sell cheaper than an Intel powered one.

Is everyone forgetting the slapping alot of these OEM's got last year as well as Intel for "OEM Favours" and "Unfair Competition" ... Its no surprise theres more AMD laptops coming about especially with their recent success. The price performance ratio at this moment is staggeringly in AMD's favour in the PC market, if they can transpose this onto the laptop market we seriously have a fight on our hands.
