By the time they deliver the Yukon platform dual-core/faster Atoms will be available to compete with it on even terms in CPU power. But Intel will also own the low end netbooks totally, giving users an obvious upgrade path. AMD will end up a small player in this price range, probably smaller than VIA in the netbook range.<br><br>Also, I am just guessing here, but the new AMD category sounds artificial. Netbooks are perceived as inexpensive, low power second computers (few people own only a netbook). The new AMDs are what? A second computer? Then they are expensive netbooks. Your only machine? Then they are small low powered laptops. I think people will decide thay are one or the other, instead of a new category as AMD thinks. AMD is making a strategic mistake here in my opinion.
