AMD ultraportable Yukon big push will be stepped down from the altar Price

By Professional editor working for cheaponsale.

Recently, AMD's media conference in Beijing, a detailed analysis of its next-generation platform for ultra-thin "Yukon" features. This code-named "Yukon" the ultra-low power platform, be able to assist OEM manufacturers to develop ultra-thin, portable, stylish full-function notebook in order to mainstream prices, a richer multimedia, high-definition video and games and other entertainment features.

AMD CEO has claimed that the Internet is only a low-cost, limited function devices, and Nothing exciting place or are likely to have large-scale revenue, over time, the concept of the Internet will gradually disappear. AMD on the media in Beijing, AMD-house staff are not optimistic about the Internet also reiterated this. AMD hopes to provide users with performance, price, features more in line with the demand for products, which has been the emergence of Yukon.

"Yukon" is aimed primarily at 4000-6000 yuan ultraportable notebook market, the screen size of 11-13 inch ultraportable notebook. At present the market of the popular Internet mainly concentrated in the 4,000 yuan less than other ultra-portable notebook on the many million more than China, so AMD mobile product manager Liao Ning is confidence that: in the ultra-thin full-function notebook in this price range AMD rival NOT!

Developments

It is reported, AMD for ultra-thin and light notebook product planning a complete product line. 2009, AMD will also launch a new generation of ultra-thin and light platform for "Congo". "Congo" based on the dual-core "Conesus" CPU and the RS780M chipset and SB710. 2010 plans to introduce a code-named "Nile" ultra-thin notebook platform. It appears that the next two years, AMD products are focused on ultra-thin notebook market, the big play the cost-effective.

The source of Yukon

"Yukon" the code from the Canadian Yukon River (Yukon), the platform includes 65-nanometer single-core processor technology of "Huron" (Lake Huron), and RS690E + SB600 embedded chipset motherboard (integrated ATI Mobility Radeon X1250 graphics chip), the overall platform power consumption of less than 25 watts.

In accordance with AMD's claims, Yukon platform is not specific to the Netbook market, but for full-featured, large-screen thin-and-light notebooks, the main business and entertainment applications, can provide a complete PC experience, and also supports 802.11n and 3G wireless technology .

Yukon platform Sempron processor and has "Athlon Neo" the two, both single-core 65nm process models, the use of specialized Low Profile design, chip package size only 27 27 mm and height are only 2.5 millimeters more than the general processors, a decrease of up to 50%, there is more conducive to the design of thin notebooks.

Neo-processor for high-end market, currently has introduced MV40, frequency to 1.5GHz, using 65nm technology, and use methods BGA package, consumes about 25W. Sempron processor targeted at low-end market, including the 210U, 200U two, respectively GHz 1.1G, 1.0G, as adopted by the 65nm process, BGA packaging, power consumption is about 10W ~ 15W.

Yukon platform RS690 chipset, the chipset can provide HD1250 integrated graphics, high-end users can choose AMD platform developed for Yukon independent HD3410 graphics cards. Yukon will provide low-cost platform for thin and light notebook provides strong overall performance, especially in multimedia performance, all Yukon platform will have high-definition broadcast capabilities and 3D performance must. - 22787
