| AMD Introduces AMD M690 Chipset for Mobile Computing AMD has announced the availability of the AMD M690 chipset. Together with AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, the new AMD M690 motherboard GPU technology further advances the mobile computing experience. The new platform enables leading global OEMs to design notebook PCs that provide users with better graphics and connectivity performance and increased energy efficiency for extended battery life. To ensure longer battery life, the AMD M690 incorporates innovative memory technology known as Display Cache, designed to allow the CPU to operate in low-power mode without accessing system memory. This platform-level innovation coupled with the energy-efficient processor design of AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology extends battery life by up to 30 minutes over previous AMD mobile technologies. The AMD M690 is powered by the ATI Radeon X1200 series graphics processor, delivering seamless access to any of the visually rich features found in Windows Vista and strong gaming performance. As the first mobile AMD chipset to support ATI Avivo technology and integrated HDMI and DVI connectivity options, the AMD M690 series provides smooth video playback and vivid images for all multimedia applications, including high-definition content. Combined with AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, and a superior wireless connectivity solution from one of the Better by Design program partners, AMD delivers the ultimate mobile computing experience, optimized for the new demands of Windows Vista. Each component of the new AMD mobile platform is designed from the ground up to deliver a superior computing experience, resulting in increased application stability, higher performance, improved visual experience, longer battery life and greater system value than AMD has ever offered before. The new AMD M690 also benefits from the unmatched maturity and reliability of ATI Catalyst graphics drivers, optimized to deliver one of the most stable graphics experiences available for Windows Vista, with high performance and broad application support. Notebooks based upon the AMD M690 and AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology will be available in designs from leading computer manufacturers including ASUS, HP and Fujitsu Siemens Computing. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
