Default AMD Intel Price War

So I heard or read somewhere that AMD and Intel were in a price war....and that PC prices will be coming down soon...well processor prices actually will come down soon, which will make PC prices come down. So does this affect Laptops as well? will we see a significant price drop in Laptops? and how soon can we expect to see this price drop...thank you

The prices of AMD already have gone down dramaticly. The X2 3800+ used to be $210, now its like $140.
