AMD ON THE VERGE TO MULTIPLY

AMD is scheduling to liberate its longed-for Puma laptop platform at Computex Taipei this month. The Puma platform will comprise a latest 'Griffin' processor and AMD's 780M chipset. The Griffin central processing unit has 2 cores and is developed on elder Turion K8 processors. It has been purposely designed for laptop use with enhanced power management. Features comprise 2MB or more of L2 cache (1MB per core), and every core can sprint at a diverse frequency. The Puma platform will have Hyper-Transport 3 and DDR2-667/800 memory sustain. The 780M chipset will attribute DirectX 10 incorporated graphics. The incorporated graphics will labor in concurrence with an isolated graphics card (if available) to facilitate lower power burning up; the isolated GPU will merely be used when considered necessary.
