AMD today , introduced its fastest-yet processor designed for laptop computers as the company seeks to take a larger piece of one of the more profitable parts of the PC industry
AMD said its Athlon XP 2200+ processor is immediately available in Europe in laptops made by Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
Epson Direct in Japan and Time Computers in the United Kingdom will start selling laptops with the chips later this month, Sunnyvale, California-based AMD said.
AMD and Intel have targeted the mobile PC market more aggressively in the past several years because notebooks are the fastest growing portion of an otherwise largely stagnant PC industry. Those chips are also more profitable.
Last week, AMD said it plans to take a charge of several hundred million dollars in the fourth quarter as well as cut jobs and costs in a bid to return to profitability.
