The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
Those are the older generation AMD and motherboard units, mostly low end models. ASUS and Intel have a very very strong relationship, thus the amount of ASUS Intel notebooks. Intel have used ASUS as their ODM/OEM for many things, such as the Intel wireless cards, as well as both ASUS and Compal's Verified by Intel(VBI) notebooks. In addition, Intel used the ASUS M3/S3 when Centrino was first announced, same goes for the recent 'SideShow' Vista notebooks.
Because of that, I think we will see a severely smaller amount of AMD and ATi processors and graphics set in the upcoming models. Good or bad? It's hard to say, but I'm liking it(Yay for Linux support haha).
Other than the move to 65nm, I dont believe AMD will have anything new in the mobile market this year. AFAIK the next major upgrade would probably be in the form of Griffin/Puma sometime in '08.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
