Meyer mentioned that the products on the new platform will be notebooks rather than netbooks. Since netbooks continue to thicken, and the corresponding segment blurred, skewed towards notebooks, the head of AMD was confident that even the term of «netbook» with time will get out of use.

In the normal segment of notebooks the AMD position is provided by Puma platform, which will soon be replaced by Tigris. Yukon and the Congo platforms will focus on the segment of ultrathin models. In addition, the company is developing yet another mobile platform, which takes an intermediate position between the Yukon and the Congo.

According to Meyer, the ARM based platform will not be able to penetrate the market of notebooks due to lack of software support.

Users can enjoy TV on their PC anywhere in the world, because the tuner is compatible with a wide range of systems, HDTV, DTV and analog broadcasting, including NTSC, PAL / SECAM, ATSC, ClearQAM and DVB-T.2.

In addition to viewing, television can be saved in popular formats such as H.264, AVI, MPEG, DivX, WMV and MPEG4 for use on portable devices. For quick and easy conversion, consumers can use the software with technology ATI Stream, if in their system, along with the ATI Theater HD 750, includes a graphic processor ATI Radeon. Using OS Windows Vista Media Center, Windows XP Media Center Edition, or prepared to release of Windows 7, users can program to record, watch, stop or rewind the TV.

The advent of ATI Theater HD 750, consisting of finished products, such as the expansion of PCI Express cards and USB-device, expected later this year.

Technical details about future GPU AMD are not yet available. It is only the original release plans for product line under the brand ATI with support for DirectX 11 – in total, to the end of the year, AMD will release four models.

Despite the difficulties faced by TSMC in the issuance of chips on 40-nanometer technology, models of Radeon HD 4800, HD 4700 and HD 4400 will be produced at facilities of TSMC, and in compliance with the rules of 40 nm. However, in the first half of next year, AMD expects to move to the GPU issue GlobalFoundries, when there will be established manufacturing standards for the 28 nm, while AMD will be ready for a new processor architecture with a «native» support DirectX 11. Thus, from the rules of 40 nm AMD expects to immediately move to 28 nm, bypassing the 32 nm.

Lightweight laptops, for which the processor Neo, occupy an intermediate position between netbukami and expensive «ultrathin» models such as the Apple MacBook Air. AMD’s position is that netbuki though are inexpensive, offer limited functionality, and the «Ultra» laptops are too expensive, not less than $ 1500. According to AMD, dual-processor model for Neo will cost $ 750 – $ 999. Clock frequency of the processor is 1.6 GHz, power consumption does not exceed 18 Watts. The price of the processor has not yet been named.

Dual-core processors will become part of the platform Neo AMD Congo. Its membership also includes an integrated Radeon 3200 graphics processor. This graphics subsystem is the trump card AMD, because in terms of specific processor performance per unit of consumed power leader Intel, which uses more advanced 45-nanometer production methods (Neo issued by standards 65 nm). Why give preference consumers remains to be seen.

Sapphire company not long to wait, and said an official press release release 3D-card Radeon HD 4890 Atomic. However, for our regular readers a message Sapphire did not come as a surprise – the first evidence that Sapphire is preparing a debut «atomic» version of 3D-ukoritelya Radeon HD 4890, were published in late April. 

New products Sapphire has become one of the first accelerators, core GPU which runs at 1 GHz. At this point, it is the fastest graphics solution uniprocessor in the world. The accelerator is aimed at enthusiasts and will be released a limited series. It cools home cooler, which uses technology evaporator chamber Vapor-X. 

GPU core clock speed is 1 GHz, clock speed 1 GB of memory GDDR5 – 1050 MHz. The kit, packaged in the recognizable briefcase, in addition to the card, the cable is HDMI. 

In the coming weeks, the company promises to release a few more options Radeon HD 4890.

The new processors will be calculated on the issue of standards of 45 nm. The list includes three model lines Phenom II and three model lines Athlon II. It looks like the following: 

Phenom II X4 925 – 2.8 GHz, 2 MB L2 + 6 MB L3, TDP 95 W; 
Phenom II X2 550 – 3.1 GHz, 1 MB L2 + 6 MB L3, TDP 80 W; 
Phenom II X2 545 – 3.0 GHz, 1 MB L2 + 6 MB L3, TDP 80 W; 
Athlon II X2 250 – 3.0 GHz, 1 MB L2, TDP 65 W; 
Athlon II X2 245 – 2.9 GHz, 1 MB L2, TDP 65 W; 
Athlon II X2 240 – 2.8 GHz, 1 MB L2, TDP 65 W; 
Data on the price of new processors with processor socket AM3 is not a source of names.

The site response, AMD is still lacking, but the source provides details of it, so it is likely to published data can be trusted. 

In particular, AMD argues that if the case comes to trial, the company will be able to prove that Intel fabricated the charge to create an obstacle to commercial relations AMD, and thus is violating an agreement on cross-licensing. 

Recall, Intel claims that AMD had violated the agreement on mutual exchange of licenses signed by the parties in 2001, as the newly established joint venture Global Foundries can not be considered as a subsidiary company and therefore does not receive the right to license specified in the agreement of 2001. As you know, the Intel have not recently been the subject of antitrust investigations in different regions.

According to Intel, Global Foundries can not be considered as a subsidiary company and therefore does not receive the license rights specified in the agreement of 2001 on the mutual licensing. Intel also claims that the structure of the deal between AMD and ATIC violating the confidential part of the agreement. The company turned to AMD with a request to make the relevant part of the agreement publicly, but AMD still refuses to do so. Violation may lead to AMD will lose the license and rights granted to it by Intel as part of the agreement. 

Under the agreement, the notice addressed to AMD, means that the parties attempt to resolve the dispute through negotiations. Interestingly, in response to the notice AMD said that Intel itself has violated the agreement by notice to AMD about the abuse. In Intel believe that such a preposterous position to the settlement of disputes, provided the original agreement. 

Has there been a violation in fact and a way to elect a party to the achievement of mutual understanding? Time will tell.

The pictures show the 3D-card-based GPU RV790. 

GPU clocked at 850 MHz, which is 100 MHz higher than the Radeon HD 4870. 

On board is 1 GB of memory GDDR5, calculated at the frequency 3900 MHz (in case of Radeon HD 4870 – 3600 MHz). The memory is connected to a 256-bit bus. Site supports DirectX 10.1 and CrossFireX. 

Reference model has the usual layout, and took two seats. The color of the printed circuit board – red. 

Site is equipped with two connectors DVI. The date of withdrawal Radeon HD 4890 is considered the beginning of next month.

The first samples of Bulldozer processors with support for a set of commands SSE5 must also appear at the end of the next year, and serial production will be launched no earlier than 2011. 

In 2007, when the first details of Bulldozer were announced, AMD had hoped to release the first model of the new architecture in 2009 with the observance of 45 nm. Later the plan was modified because it was decided to use a more advanced 32-nanometer production methods of new processors. First Bulldozer, which is code-named Orochi, is the successor of Deneb. He will have more than four cores, an integrated DDR3 memory controller and more than 8 MB of third level cache memory.
