AMD readies new mobile and desktop products

In the past, AMD has been terrible when it comes to their notebook CPUs. Well, thanks to better technology and a lot of hard work, AMD is not going to have this problem this time around with their new dual-core mobile chips.

The company also is planning to release mid-year new desktop processors that may compete with Intel’s latest push into low-powered products that promise greater battery life.

“You can assume mid-year we will offer processors that are more energy efficient, that consume less power,” said AMD Athlon 64 marketing manager Teresa deOnis.

AMD also is on track to transition its entire desktop processor line to a new motherboard socket, called AM2, during the next calendar quarter. Essentially, the new socket enables DDR2 memory and AMD virtualization technology. Source: Commentwire.com
