AMD today announced a new low-power Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) in the award-winning AMD G-Series SOC family with the GX-210JA, further reducing x86 power requirements for embedded designs. The new GX-210JA APU, a full System-on-Chip (SoC) design, uses one-third less energy than the previous low-power Embedded G-Series SOC product while providing industry-leading graphics capabilities. At only 6 watts maximum thermal design power (TDP), and approximately 3 watts expected average power, this new member of the G-Series SOC family will enable additional fanless designs for a variety of applications ranging from industrial controls and automation, digital gaming, communications infrastructure and visual embedded products including thin client, digital signage and medical imaging.

And the AMD-enhanced windows 8 tables are coming when again?

Ask OEMs that question. They're the ones deciding if x86 tablets are worth the investment cost. Taking a guess just based on lame sales of Microsoft, Lenovo, and Dell's tablets I'm gonna say there's no enough profit potential.

I am thinking the same thing.. I hope AMD accelerates their Arm-based APUs as I understand they have some of that on the line.

If the news post from a couple months ago where AMD was/is considering an ARM-based APU, it was supposedly fall under the G-series branding.

G-series X would be the x86 SoC APU.
G-series A would be the ARM SoC APU.

It wasn't a really big confirmation from AMD. All it was this single phrase:
"Ultimately, we're going to have x86 and ARM in our product portfolio." - AMD's Arun Iyengar
 
The words 'AMD' and 'Leadership' shouldn't really be in the same sentence. Unless it's something like "AMD holds its leadership as the has-been of chip makers."
