I’m still trying to work out details on this one but its potentially quite big news.
AMD have announced a low-power version of the ‘Bobcat’ processor and a version called ‘Griffin’ aimed at UMPCs. It looks like it will be launched in 2008.
I’m working with a translation from Impress.jp as there doesn’t appear to be any English language content on this yet. Stay tuned while I work this one out.
Update: Others are reporting this now although everyone is working from the same source. I’m trying to find out information from AMD about what was actually said. If AMD are entering the ultra mobile PC CPU market in 2008 then its another sign that theres money going into the segment and another sign that the sector will heat-up during the later part of 2008.
