Bloomberg is reporting that Toshiba, the fourth largest manufacturer of notebooks, plans to use AMD processors in about 20 per cent of its notebooks.
This ends a 6 year long exclusive deal with Intel, and Toshiba joins the likes of HP, Dell and Acer which already sell AMD based computers.

You can expect AMD powered Satellite notebooks around Christmas.
