Toshiba to use AMD chip in laptop PCs
oshiba, the world's fourth-largest laptop PC maker, said Tuesday it expects to put AMD processors in about 20 percent of the notebooks it sells in the United States and Europe. The move follows an announcement last year by Dell, which had been procuring microprocessors only from Intel for more than two decades, that it would begin using chips from AMD.
"With PCs becoming commodity products, there seems to be a new way of thinking that competition should be introduced even in procurement of such core parts like processors as long as there are no major differences in product specifications," Macquarie Securities analyst Yoshihiro Shimada said. "This could be a message that an era in which Intel took the lion's share of microprocessor profits as the king of PC chips is over."
