Toshiba will use AMD chips in about 20 percent of the laptops it sells in the United States and Europe, according to a Reuters report last week.
The deal signals the end of its exclusive partnership with Intel. Notebooks made with AMD chips will reportedly cost some $80 less than Intel-equipped notebooks and will begin selling this summer.
The Toshiba/AMD deal is reminiscent of a similar deal made in May 2006, when Dell Inc., which had been using Intel MPUs exclusively, announced that it would begin using AMD chips in its high-end servers. In August, Dell expanded its relationship with AMD with the announcement that it would launch Dimension consumer desktop PCs with AMD MPUs.
