I can't wait.

Check out the diagram at

for example - the Venice core is more than two years old, and Winchester is even older!

Still, it's refreshing to see how AMD now suddenly takes energy consumption more seriously, adding easy-to-use (transparent) hardware features involving the whole system, instead of passively relying solely on their (fairly advanced) AMD-IBM manufacturing processes (SOI, strained silicon, etc) and CnQ.

Hopefully, we will soon see some active marketing regarding energy efficiency as well, letting the average customer know AMD is as good as, or even better than, Intel on this.

GO AMD!

I like AMD, but Centrino laptops have always been more attractive and better supported in the FOSS OSes community. Now with their open drivers and a committed laptop platform, I can start to look at them again.

Hopefully we'll see some nice thin laptops with high res displays. Sun, 20 May 2007 01:52:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Flatland_Spider) Comments
