In the past month , AMD reported about its intention to propose as alternative to Intel atom platforms its own solutions for creating inexpensive full-scale notebook: Yukon on base of 65 NM single core processors Huron and Congo on base of 65 NM dual core processors Conesus. The notebook segment for AMD seems attractive, since for comparable value the company partners are ready to propose a more functional and developed notebook. It is assumed that the cost of Yukon class notebook will lie within the limits $399. The TDP of processor and integrated chipset will not exceed 25 W.
Associate shared with us some characteristics of Yukon platforms. Chipset (RS690E+SB600) and (Huron) processor will cost only $20! Analogous components for notebook on base of atom processor cost $44, in this case the processor is released on 45 NM technology and has a tiny core.
The dual core processors Conesus, will be the close relatives of present mobile Athlon 64 X2 (Turion 64 X2). They will obtain a dual-channel memory controller , cache in the second level with 2 X 512 KB volume . With 1.6 GHz frequency the processor will have a TDP not more than 18 W.
Huron processors will be a close relative to mobile Sempron. The core will be satisfied by a single-channel memory controller , 128 KB cache in the first level and 256 KB cache in the second level. There are two models provided: with 1 GHz frequency (TDP = 8 W) and 1.5 GHz frequency (TDP = 15 W). Huron and Conesus processors will have the design concept BGA . The graphic system in RS780M and RS690E chipset will ensure a much higher performance in comparison with the integrated chipset Intel 945GSE.
