Toshiba laptops to sport AMD processors
Score another one for AMD.
Reuters (and InfoWorld news) is reporting that Toshiba plans to use AMD processors in up to 20 percent of laptops that it sells throughout Europe and the U.S.
The company will incorporate AMD chips in its "moderate-priced standard models," as opposed to its top-of-the-line systems. Read: Toshiba's not necessarily acquiescing that AMD chips outperform Intel's, hard as AMD tries.
Still, the switch has to hurt for Intel, which recently saw long-time loyal Dell and now Toshiba breaking rank. With its newly announced Santa Rosa laptops showing merely modest performance gains (surprise), now is not the best time for Intel to start sharing its closest customers.
