Mainstream and ultrathins

Following their Cannes Film Festival Vision trailer, AMD has officially announced its 2010 mainstream and ultrathin notebook platforms and has officialy released a full list of its notebook processors including the new V-series V105 and V120, Athlon II Neo single-core K125 and dual-core K325, as well as Turion II Neo, Turion II dual-core, Athlon II dual-core and Phenom II dual, triple and quad-core CPUs.

AMD is quite keen on promoting its Vision platforms and claims that these can bring quite an impressive performance when compared to Intel and Nvidia equipped platforms thanks to the ATI Radeon HD 5400 or Radeon HD 4200 graphics. In addition to the graphics options, the entire lineup boasts an improved battery life and thermals. Hopefully some of those new HP, Lenovo, Acer, Dell notebooks will show up in a review somewhere.

The top of the line for ultrathins goes to Turion II Neo dual-cores, K665 and K625 clocked at 1.7 and 1.5GHz with 2MB of L2 cache and a 15W TDP. The novelty here is the V series CPU clocked at 1.2GHz with 512KB of L2 cache and a mere 9W TDP. The V-series is also present in the Mainstream segment as well but under V120 model name, clocked at 2.2GHz with a 25W TDP.

The top of mainstream segment takes the Phenom II Black Edition quad-core X920 clocked at 2.3GHz with 2MB of L2 cache and a 45W TDP as well as a Phenom II Black Edition dual-core X620 clocked at 3.1GHz with same amount of cache and the same TDP. The rest of the mainstream linup include bunch of Phenom II quad, triple and dual core as well as Turion II and Athlon II dual-core CPUs and aformentioned V-series V120.

It looks like AMD is pushing hard with its Vision and it will be quite interesting to see how well will this one do once it starts to appear on the market. You can check out the full ultrathin lineup here while the mainstream notebook CPU list can be found here.
