$449 AMD Dell Laptops

Dell has recently started to sell AMD-based mobile devices. Because of the switch to AMD's processors Dell can sell laptops for a very affordable price. In addition to the processors lowering the price of Dell's laptops, Dell's price-performance ratio rises. Intel Celerons were previously the processors Dell implemented in their low-end laptops. Select classes of AMD's Sempron and Athlon 64 model of processors enable more performance for the same and perhaps, in some cases, lower price.

Will AMD gain popularity for Dell's inexpensive laptops?

Touchscreen iPods

Apple plans on releasing their newest addition to the highly acclaimed and overpriced iPod series media player around the upcoming holiday season. This variant has a screen users can touch to activate. The only advantage to the new iPod is that it has a larger integrated visual interface. However, the large screen will more than likely end up extremely soiled by the user's dirty and oily fingers.

Will the Touchscreen iPod be a success or fail miserably?

IBM Back In The Game

Just recently, IBM unveiled their newest processor. The Power6; it's another dual-core. Yes, this dual-core is coming late in the game compared to AMD & Intel who are hard at work concerning their quad-cores and beyond. The amazing thing about this Power6 processor is it's speed. Running at a stock clock of anywhere from 4-5 Ghz per core and a cumulative 8MB of L2 cache, this processor would prove to be the fastest dual-core out there. Prices have not yet been released, but either way, IBM is back to making quality processors for the next generations.

Will IBM gain popularity from this new processor?

Intel To Purchase Nvidia

This is big news for obvious reasons. Ever since AMD bought out ATI in an attempt to strengthen their grip on the computer world other companies have been following suite. It was joked about shortly after this occurred that Intel would buy out Nvidia. This possibility is no longer a joke. It's very possible that this will happen. However, there is development Nvidia dabbles in that ATI did not. Intel would stand to gain much more from Nvidia than AMD did buy purchasing ATI.

Could this mean the demise of AMD in the not too distant future?
