Although the position of the history of AMD, it has no interest in, netbook space, personal computer manufacturers continue to build the processor chip manufacturers, low-cost computers.

Immediately after two weeks later on, the gateway unit of Acer, proclaimed AMD processor-based netbook, an additional processor producer netbook commences the low-power processor from AMD. Median Akoya Mini to start selling the E1312 netbook, which includes low-power processors, the Sempron 210U.

AMD has been ridiculed in the past that netbooks, the computer is too small and did not provide full functionality. Netbooks prominent feature is the small keyboard and 12-inch screen. This notebook is designed for basic applications such as Web surfing and word processing and general pricing starts at 299 U.S. dollars.

The company still does not want to enter the netbook space, but not dismissive of the PC analog spokesman AMD has passed.

The existence of the company's netbook space by accident, said John Taylor, AMD spokesman. AMD does not want people to decide how to use their personal computer chip manufacturers, as well as the Sempron chip low-power may be netbooks, Taylor said. Low-end Sempron chip, AMD's mainstream chip personal computers.

"We have not gone out and establish a platform for netbooks," said Taylor. However, the placement of its netbooks chip is a positive because it provides a wider choice of buyers, Taylor said.
In addition to netbooks, AMD's low-power chips could also make their way into different form factor devices, such as all-in-one computers, Taylor said.

The Akoya Mini has a screen of 11.6 inches and with a 160GB hard drive and 1GB memory. It also includes M690E chipset, integrated graphics of the ATI Radeon. It is reported that this notebook is already available in Germany, through the middle. Netbook to the top of the performance of notebook computers based on Intel's Atom chip, Nathan Brookwood, said the chief analyst at Insight 64. Atom chip used in most netbooks today.

"One of the netbook Sempron chips, a decent integrated graphics chipset and can provide better performance than Atom in some applications," Brookwood said.

Their chips now netbook space inadvertently with Intel rival AMD, and Via’s cooperation, another supplier of netbook chip sales. However, AMD wants to focus on the development of notebook chips to provide better processing and graphics performance, Taylor said.

This is because the risk of AMD's profit margins generated by lower sales of netbooks, if the film at high prices eroded its chips using AMD chips in mainstream products, such as notebook computers, Brookwood said. Intel faces the same risk, low profit margins, caused by the people to choose low-cost netbooks atoms instead of the mainstream of higher prices of notebook computers.

AMD has developed a low-power Athlon computer chip recognized as the new ultra-thin notebook computers; this is the price of netbooks, but with better processing and graphics performance. The company has announced a innovative dual-core deviation may DV2Z HP Pavilion laptop. Intel's ultra-low-voltage low-power consumption (CULV) chips space competition with AMD.
