The good news comes Monday, when, according to sources close to the company, the chipmaker will launch a new mobile Athlon XP 1800+ processor for notebook PCs.
The new 1800+ chip will run at 1.53GHz, a 66MHz boost over AMD's 1.47GHz Athlon XP 1700+, making the new processor the chipmaker's fastest mobile offering to date. It's also AMD's first new mobile announcement since April, when the company introduced the mobile Athlon XP.
