Atheros is partnering with AMD: This looks to be an attempt by these companies to make themselves attractive to laptop makers by offering them a platform that includes the Atheros 802.11a/b/g chipset combined with AMD's 64-bit processor. Glenn notes that there's nothing said here about any sort of integration between the two companies' products. So basically these guys are trying to tell laptop manufacturers that an AMD processor and Atheros 802.11 chipset will make a better product then anything based on Intel's Centrino platform.
