At AMD's 2008 Financial Analyst Day, AMD revealed their notebook and mini-notebook (netbook?) roadmap.

AMD has announced four new mobile CPUs - two for the mainstream laptops and another two for the netbooks. All of them are based on 45nm technology. "Caspian" will be the first 45nm mobile processor for mainstream laptops. It will be a dual-core chip with 2MB Cache and support DDR2 memory only. It will eventually be replaced with "Champlain" which will be a quad-core chip supporting DDR3 memory.

For netbooks, AMD has 45nm "Conesus" and "Geneva" in the works. The "Conesus" is scheduled for 2009 release but it will be replaced with DDR3-rocking "Geneva" netbook CPU in 2010.

Too little technical information and specifics here but we'll take what we can get. So, to sum it up - AMD doesn't have any killer stuff lined up for laptops in 2009. The quad-core mobile AMD CPUs aren't excepted until 2010. On the netbook side, it will be interesting to see how "Conesus" performs and its adoption by the Atom-dominated industry.
