New AMD processors to boost market offerings by manufacturers |
|
|
From the Cannes Film Festival AMD announced a complete refresh of its desktop and notebook platforms based on VISION Technology for consumer and commercial customers. Just before the start of the biggest buying cycle of the year, the new notebook platforms will offer up to eight hours of battery life and promise to deliver an outstanding visual experience at a great price for the mainstream and ultrathin markets.  Nigel Dessau, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of AMD said that after little more than 200 days in market, “our partners are introducing more VISION-based PCs than ever before.” Introduced in October 2009, VISION Technology from AMD simplifies the PC buying process at the point of sale by focusing on how consumers use PCs, rather than relying upon the confusing “speeds and feeds” technical specifications that many people find difficult to understand. VISION also denotes the powerful visual experience AMD systems enable; an important feature as more consumers use their computers as entertainment hubs for sharing photos, music and videos with friends and family, watching TV and HD videos, and playing games.AMD said that in 2009, 96 million people worldwide bought PCs for entertainment purposes. Consequently, its 2010 Mainstream Notebook Platform is made for consumers who enjoy their movies, music and games in color and clarity, help them seamlessly connect with friends on social networks, and edit their videos and photos. The 2010 Ultrathin Notebook Platform is designed for a full-featured PC experience, including HD playback, in sleek and affordable notebooks that can deliver up to eight hours of battery life. Systems featuring these notebook and desktop platforms with VISION Technology from AMD will be available from original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and System Integrators including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI and Toshiba. |
