Fujitsu’s AMD Neo-powered netbook makes its way through the FCC

Is Intel’s stranglehold on the netbook market slipping?  Today Fujitsu passed their LifeBook P3010 netbook through the FCC.  The netbook, which was announced in October, rocks a 1.6 GHz AMD Neo processor, not the ubiquitous Intel Atom.

It will be nice to have some competition in the netbook processor market.  AMD is able to make a play here because they can bundle their AMD Neo processor with integrated ATI graphics – just like Intel does with the Atom.  I’d hope that this drives up processor speed, while decreasing prices and power consumption.

The P3010 actually boasts some impressive specs.  The device has 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drvie, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi – all in a 3.5 lb package that’s just over an inch thick.
