AMD may be closer to a Centrino competitor than many may have expected. According to a media report, AMD and ATI may be introducing a notebook platform, code-named "Yokohama," in the fourth quarter of this year to compete with Intel's recently launched Napa64 platform, which include the Core 2 Duo processor.
Yokohama will be the first product that will enable analysts, journalists and customers to get an idea where AMD's mobile products stand and in which direction they will go.

    Paris, Venis, Manchester, Yokohama.. It falls well in line with AMD's recent codenames being named after cities.

    Somehow, I don't think this stupid branding idea is going to get as much positive attention as that "other" stupid branding idea: Wii...
