AMD announces Puma….again
AMD, the other processor company decided to relaunch Puma, their mobile processor. Actually it really wasn’t a lanuch, more of an announcement saying that Puma will be launched in Q2 this year. AMD demonstrated Puma’s capabilities vs an Intel processor.
Puma might be all fine and dandy, but it’s having a very difficult time of getting out of the factory and into laptops. Puma was initially announced last year but it never came. Its “relaunch” in Q2 is expected to be delayed as well.
The only thing definite are Puma’s specifications, which haven’t changed since last year at its first announcement. For ideal power efficiency, Puma will be able to dynamically scale each core independently while executing a thread. Puma also sports a DirectX 10 graphics controller that puts Intel’s X3100 controller to shame. Puma-based systems will range from $699 to $2,500 later this year….hopefully
