TechReport looks at what Intel's Westmere might mean. Intel will undoubtedly attempt to fill that same niche with its own batch of processors, but I think AMD will be in a uniquely privileged position here thanks to its integrated graphics. Even Clarkdale's mobile sibling, Arrandale, will have an IGP with the same lackluster underpinnings as today's GMA X4500. AMD should have no trouble pitching slower CPUs with faster graphics in a market where CPU performance really isn't that big a concern.
