New Year will see Intel release Yonah and Viiv
"You will be able to do a Skype voice call while playing video games," Keith Kresslin, director of mobile platforms marketing at Intel said.
If you are planning on buying yourself a new laptop soon, it might be best to hang back, as Laptops and small PCs featuring Yonah are also scheduled to come out at the same time as the chip. As for Viiv, Intel envisions the PC as having a place in the living room in the not too distant future.
The company also plans to test the Viiv PC extensively for compatibility with other devices, such as handhelds and LCD TVs, and with services for downloading content. These products and services will carry a label that shows they work with Viiv, similar to the wireless hot-spot compatibility campaign Intel conducts with Centrino notebooks.
"There is no unifying platform that puts these things together," said Eric Kim, the chief marketing officer at Intel. "It (Viiv) will play a role in the living room."

Doing to things at once? I can imageine playing a game and talking to someone on skype. He goes "What's that noise?" "Err... the windows are open in the office and um, lots of traffic." Intel is going to take a large amount of the market if this keeps up. AMD better do something about it!

AMD has just recently jumped into laptops and hasn't done much of anything yet besides offer the cheapest laptops available. I think AMD will eventually come around to being a key player in mobile processing, but I don't see this being any time soon.
