AMD can take it on the chin and even dish it out.
AMD has developed a smaller, thinner package than it currently uses to affix the mobile Athlon XP to a motherboard inside a notebook. The new package--along with the fact that the new chip consumes about 25 percent less power than AMD's older Athlon 4 mobile processor and produces less heat as well--will allow the 1800+ to be used in thinner and lighter notebooks.
