The honeymoon is over: Intel snubs Microsoft's Windows Vista as XP sales are officially ended
Although chip-maker Intel has been totally BFF with Microsoft for like years and years, their relationship now seems to be on very rocky ground. An anonymous insider from Intel revealed last week that the company has decided not to upgrade the computers for its 80,000 strong work force to Windows Vista. Not ever.
AMD jumps into the mini notebook PC game
Hoping to keep up with the likes of the Via Openbook, Intel’s Atom processors, and countless Eee PC wannabes, AMD is now working with PC manufacturers to build a new breed of small form factor PCs (you can call them what you like)…

Loose-lipped Intel employee claims Atom chip will be in next Apple device
The Apple rumours are flying thick and fast this week, with a loose-lipped Intel employee in Germany bragging their new Atom chip (designed for mobile devices and UMPCs) would be featured in the next portable Apple creation.
Whether that’s an iPhone, tablet, or handheld gaming system is still unknown, but if Intel Germany’s Managing Director, Hannes Schwaderer, has been welcomed into the Apple thinktank, the devices with the new Atom chips will have 720 x 480 displays, so quite a bit bigger than the current batch of iPhones. And let’s be honest…
AMD to launch "Business Class" PC range, as it attempts to stop Intel taking over the world
AMD’s going down the whole making-a-PC road, it appears, announcing that it’s launching a complete “solution” aimed at business users.
The AMD “Business Class” PC will be licensed out and sold by partners like Dell, Acer, Fujitsu-Siemens and HP, and will come in a variety of Phenom and Athlon processor specs – plus it’ll support AMD-owned ATi graphics cards and also those of its DEADLY RIVAL Nvidia…
Five of the best ASUS Eee PC rivals, plus all the news on rumoured Eee models…
Last year, the Eee PC from ASUS launched, cementing sub-10″ ‘budget’ notebooks in the history pages forever, as other major manufacturers scrambled to keep up with their phenomenal success. Even the gadget-models at I4U News snuggled it into their boobage, as you can see!
ASUS is keeping ahead of the game, with several models already released, and more out shortly. There’s the original 7″ 4G Eee, which had a 4GB flash drive and cost £219, the French model with integrated HSDPA, a touch-screen model with boosted internal storage, and the 8.9″ Eee 900 which also has an increased memory and storage, and importantly the option of Windows XP instead of the Linux OS. Not forgetting that strange report from a few weeks ago about a desktop Eee…
There are still rumours flying around about more models, with June pointed at as a likely month for them to launch an Atom-powered machine, instead of containing a Celereon processor like before. This will give it a longer battery life, and improved performance. A 10″ model is also being planned, according to ASUS, which will hopefully be out later this year.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at the various Eee PC bandwagon-jumpers, below…

AMD gets in on the 45nm scene – announces "Shanghai" and "Deneb" Quad-Cores for 2008
In an incredibly unsurprising development at CeBIT 2008, a computer company has announced it’s making something smaller yet also simultaneously more powerful.
It’s AMD’s turn to rewrite the laws of physics, thanks to its two new 45nm Quad-Core processors which the company has given the rather mystical and alluring codenames of “Shanghai” and “Deneb.”
Both are quad-core for ultimate power, both 45nm for extra smallness
