AMD company presented the single core athlon neo, which in the current version have one core with 512 KB cache in the second level, they operate at the frequency of 1.6 GHz, but their TDP level does not exceed 15 W. These processors have a K8 architecture and are released using the 65 NM technology. The cost of platform allows producers to create thin and light notebook in the price range up to $900.
It is assumed that the dual core processors athlon neo (Conesus), which form part of congo platforms , will be presented by AMD in the second-half of the present year. AMD representative confirmed this fact, but he did not call a more precise announcement date .
The company Vice President Randy Allen reported that AMD will develop a processors class with TDP not more than 15 W, which have analogous cost characteristics with the first neo model . Performance will grow, and the operating time from batteries will increase due to the introduction of energy-saving technologies.
If we check AMD November presentations , then let us reveal the development of athlon neo processors . Within the 65 NM technology in this year will appear the dual core processors conesus with DDR-2 support and 1 Mb cache in the second level, in 2010 as change will arrive the 45 NM processors geneva with 2 Mb cache in the second level and DDR- 3 supports, and in 2011 AMD can present the first AMD processors with the integrated graphic core - Ontario. They will obtain 1 Mb cache in the second level, DDR- 3 support, and they will be released on the 32 NM technologies.
In the opinion of AMD representatives , notebooks cannot engage a worthy market place , since the compact form factor limits the processor performance . Related Products :
