AMD has exposed that its low power microprocessor is codenamed Bobcat plus this is the microchip core that will be the division of 2011 notebook APU codename “Brazos”.

The corporation also alleged that Bobcat is a extremely low power design with a sub-1W competent power covering that can score 90 percent of today’s mainstream performance in less than half silicon part.

It is also simple to use again and what AMD didn’t inform you is that this microprocessor will be developed in 40nm bulk process as it will get DirectX 11 RV8x0 series 40nm graphics within, as this is the tip of APU to have CPU as well as GPU mutually. AMD claims SSE 1 to 3 as well as virtualization which is nothing impressive but it's still good to hear.

With the Bobcat, AMD plans to vie with Intel's Atom. But, by the time Bobcat launches, Atom will be three years old along with some market reports observe 130+ million Atoms / Netbooks in the market. AMD has to pull vision to acquire OEMs as well as ODMs concerned in its design.

AMD goes ARM like plan where it plans to produce CPU on massiveness, even while it used Silicon on insulator for years at present.

Let’s not overlook that this appealing core is listed for some point in 2011, plus when a corporation tells you a year it's extremely likely that production as well as accessibility must take place later on in the year rather than in January time.

The big problem is what Intel plans for its 2011 Atom descendant.
