"BenQ plans to launch 12.1-inch and 13.3-inch Yukon-based ultra-thin notebooks in May and will launch Intel consumer ultra low voltage-based (CULV-based) ultra-thin notebooks at a later time."
Sempron Uxxx = Athlon Neo. Same chip.
As for Turion, they tend to be in cheap laptops. But since CPUs don't limit performance these days, a good Turion laptop with AMD graphics can smash one with a superpowered Intel CPU and Intel graphics in real-world benchmarks and still be cheaper.
But I'm waiting for AMD's Phenom II based mobile platform coming later this year. It will actually be able to compete.
