AMD Announces Next-Gen Mobile Processor, Chipset

[HardOCP News]

eWeek has the scoop on the unveiling of AMD's next-generation mobile processor and chipset codenamed Griffin and Puma. Expect to be inundated with a bunch of clever headlines like “Puma pounces” over the next few days.

AMD executives will detail its new mobile microprocessor, code-named Griffin, along with its "Puma" platform for laptops. Both the chip and the platform are expected to debut in the second half of 2008, company executives said. For AMD, the importance of the announcement is that it marks a major update to its notebook platform, including an expanded set of power management features within its line of mobile processors.

AMD has been blowing a lot of air latley, they need to start churning these bad boys out instead of talking about them.

Wow! Such brave words.

So...Intel just pulled itself off the canvas after getting it's but kicked for years since AMD released the first Athlon. Now they've got the top dog in a market that has lost much of it's significance.

I'm glad I sold my AMD stock before this double whammy started. Why would you announce a product that "MAY" be available a year from now? In this business a year is a lifetime. It is really sad.
