the Centrino program were used as illegal, anti-competitive practices by Intel to induce its customers not to buy laptop chips from Intel's long time rival AMD. In the quarter immediately following the JFTC ruling, AMD boasted more than 60 laptop computer design wins which was a strong resurgence from the [1] drastic share reductions seen in 2003 and 2004.
To qualify for a Centrino label, laptop vendors must use all three Intel qualified parts under each platform, otherwise using only the processor and chipset will carry the Pentium M, Pentium Dual-Core, Celeron, Intel Core or Intel Core 2 label instead.
