As promised in March, AMD is ready to take on Intel's Centrino and ship Puma, its first platform built specifically for notebooks.The energy-efficient Puma represents the company's largest notebook PC initiative, according to AMD, which made the announcement at Computex Taipei. Puma combines the new AMD Turion X2 dual-core mobile processor (2.4 GHz and 2.1 GHz) with ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics and an ATI chipset. For users that should translate to better graphics ability, gaming and high-definition video performance than what Intel has to offer, AMD says.
"Consumer and SMB laptops in the desktop replacement and thin-and-light categories are 80 percent of the market. We're not focusing on enterprise or ultraportables," said Ian McNaughton, AMD?s senior manager, adding that AMD will have a separate platform to address these in future.InternetNews, IT Week
