AMD's dual-cores for thin notebooks
AMD seems to be speeding up its mobile plans, and it now plans to launch the dual-core Congo mobile platform in late Q2.
The power efficient platform for thin and light notebooks was scheduled
to appear later this year, but in a recent conference call AMD said it
would hit the market in summertime. AMD Chief Operations and Administrative Officer Bob Rivet says it we can expect it "at the back end of this quarter."
Congo is an improved version of AMD's Yukon mobile platform, but unlike
Yukon which is single-core, Congo will feature dual-core Coneseus CPUs. Thus far, only HP has used the Yukon platform, in its Pavilion DV2 notebook which launched a month ago.
However, the first Intel CULV-based notebooks should appear on the market within days.
