AMD's new notebook hope, a chip codenamed Llano, features a revised Phenom core. This doesn't come as a surprise as the new Bulldozer core should be ready at some point in 2011, which is simply too late for Llano.

Llano is based on a revised Phenom K10.5 core, naturally shrunk down to 32nm and since Llano has both dual and quad-core versions, and the company plans at least two chips. The graphics inside is based on Evergreen DirectX 11 graphics core. (Fermi and Evergreen are probably the least cool codenames in the history of computer graphics. Ed.)

It should do well in the notebook market and it might give AMD a fighting chance, as this is definitely going to play games faster and better than Intel integrated graphics that should still be a part of Intel CPUs in 2011 time frame. Judging from this Bulldozer based Fusion, CPU and GPU together on the same chip fused, is at least 2012, if not even later.
