AMD to announce netbook strategy this week?
AMD is expected to release details of their new netbook strategy this week along with details of their new processor. According to APC Mag, the company will also address two key issues with today’s netbooks – video and battery performance. Today’s video/graphics performance is really subpar and you can thank Intel’s crappy integrated graphics for that one. As far as battery life is concerned, most users need to purchase a six cell battery in order to enjoy 5+ hours of power. Clearly we need better solutions.
Thus, it’s probably a safe bet that AMD will be unveiling a processor/graphics solution for netbook systems – leveraging the graphics expertise within the ATI division against their expertise in low power mobile processors.
All of this can only be good news for you the consumer. Having AMD in the netbook picture will result in lower processor prices which will translate to lower netbook costs. AND we all know lower prices are a very good thing for consumers.
