Alright, this is pretty cool news. AMD is adding a mobile processor to its 64 bit series of CPUs. This will most certainly open up a lot of doors for those wanting to a stick with their old friend AMD, yet have the kind of mobile computing power we can expect for high application while on the go.

Further pitting itself against Intel Corp.’s Pentium-M offerings, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. on Monday expanded its lineup of mobile Athlon 64-bit processors.

The new Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000+ operates at 2 GHz and is meant for use in thin and lightweight notebook computers. It’s the highest-performing processor in the company’s family of low-power Mobile AMD Athlon 64 products, which already includes 2700+ and 2800+ versions, according to AMD’s Web site.

Acer Inc. is the first computer maker to announce support for the new AMD processor. Taipei, Taiwan-based Acer plans to start selling a notebook in its Ferrari line equipped with the Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000+ in Europe later this month and worldwide by the end of October, AMD said.
