I think it's pretty obvious from the products they put out for that market segment. And he's right, anyway. If you have enough CPU power in a laptop to drive whatever GPU is in there, that's all you need. You don't need an Ivy Bridge to run a web browser or business applications, watch a movie, or listen to music.
Common sense should be more than enough to tell you that AMD is going to continue to develop desktop-class CPU's, because they still compete there and in the server market, and even if they're de-emphasizing CPU performance in the mobile market, there's still a certain level that is necessary, and that level is going to continue to increase as GPU technology moves forward.
Somebody wrote a "Chicken Little" headline and people bit on it.

Definitely. I believe they'll do what Intel is and have higher clocked mobile chips/server chips as their entire desktop area.
