There was an excelent article floating around not that long ago about AMD. AMD will always (at least in the near future) release low volume (ie: mobile and server) products first because they do not have the production capability (esp at 0.13 micron) to make enough desktop chips to fill the demand. Because intel has so much more manufacturing capability they can release desktop chips first, and then start on producing the mobile chips. Only recently did we start to see P4 laptops. Also mobile chips benefit the most from die shrinks (because of lower power consumption).

Also for AMD who doesn't have the fabs, it cuts down on a lot of their costs and allows them to ship more procs.
