Since ATI and Intel have been in love for some months now, ATI has surprisingly won the exclusive right to build just such a chipset. We can be positive that both Intel and ATI are working on this chipset and we can be pretty sure that the ATI chipset will have an integrated graphic chip inside. The best solution that I can think of is a Radeon 7500 mobile which can really make an impact in the mobile gaming community – if such a thing exists.

We are unsure what Nvidia can offer in this arena but we know that Nforce can be used as a mobile platform as well and that Nvidia will be doing everything it can to makes things hard for ATI in the mobile arena.
Now ATI has a license to make this chipset, it is certain to make money from it as it will be one of very few available at launch, but Nvidia has the capability to develop Nforce for both P4 mobile and desktop. What it doesn't have is a licence.

How about Nvidia making some mobile chipsets for AMD's mobile Palominos and Morgans, leaving ATI will go for the mobile P4?

     The president of Akamai was killed in one of the planes that hit the WTC. Akamai is involved with distribution of images and files all over the web. They are the Connexion of images and more.
     Yet, I do not think these will be the real effects on the industry. I believe that consumer confidence is going to drop to the bottom. The market for computer games, new processors, and better operating systems will not exist. This will create a massive slowdown as to the future of computer development. This will mean all our news days in a few months will look like the last week’s stories.
     As citizens of the world, we must continue to purchase as we have previously. This is the only way that we will salvage the tech industry and many others. Current war does not have a massive effect on the productivity of companies as it did in the past. I do not expect war to have a positive or negative effect on the economy.
