Advanced Micro Devices Inc on May 16 unveiled a dual-core microchip for laptop computers, giving the company an answer to similar mobile products from larger rival Intel Corp.
AMD hopes the dual-core chip will help it gain more market share from Intel, which unveiled a dual-core mobile processor late last year.
AMD was first to start selling dual-core chips for desktop computers and the server machines that run corporate networks, and their better performance and energy-efficiency helped the company grab share from Intel in those markets.
However, the company has lagged Intel in introducing them for notebook computers that are the fastest-growing segment of the computer market.
The line of laptop chips will be known as the Turion 64 X2, will come in four models and range in price from $184 to $354 each in quantities of 1,000.
