AMD Reveals New Mobile Technologies

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the speedy-names-for-on-the-go dept.

MojoKid writes "AMD disclosed a few details today regarding their upcoming mobile platform technologies, codenamed 'Griffin' and 'Puma'. According to AMD, Griffin will be manufactured at 65nm and it will feature a new mobile optimized on-die Northbridge with a power optimized DDR2 memory controller, HyperTransport 3 connectivity, and larger L2 caches than current designs. The new memory controller should also extend battery life thanks to new power saving features, that allow the controller to operate on a separate power plane and at a lower voltage than the execution cores."

    The planet will live on, but you and your son won't. Almost ironic, in a way.

    I've currently set my threshold for a PC power supply at 400W (and one of those 80% efficiency rated ones, at that), which is still ridiculously high, IMO. I love quiet computers, and I love low-power stuff. I waited to upgrade from an underclocked Barton to a Venice-core AMD because I wanted a cool, quiet PC.

    Of course, I play guitar through a MM 210 Sixty Five, and my buddy Jim plugs his bass into a big fat half-stack. And let's not forget A/C so my equipment doesn't get damaged. And my car isn't running so great either, these days. :-)
