The problem AMD has going for it is overall power usage. Apple doesn't stick with Intel because of performance, but because of power usage and heat production. AMD has some problems competing with low power CPUs, and in really high performance CPUs, but overall they are a good option.
AMD claim their upcoming Trinity series will have laptop CPUs at 17w with a HD7000 series GPU.
The top model mobile CPU is already leaked. A10-4600M with Quad Core 2,3GHz (boost to 3.2) with 7660 (384 steam procs) at 35w.
If that is true it's a serious competition to the Dual Core Intel CPUs. The Quad i7 @ 2.3GHZ with Intel 4000 is rated at 45w.
The 7660 will blow Intel HD4000 out of the water, that's for sure!
