"AMD is showing off its latest round of APUs accelerated processing units that combine compute and graphics cores on the same slice o' silicon that it hopes will be reinforcements in its battle for the consumer market against its main competitor, Intel, especially at the low-power end of the market.
"We're working to position ourselves to be the top provider, between the software and silicon capabilities, for a new generation of client devices," AMD VP of communications and industry marketing John Taylor told The Reg at a briefing last week in San Francisco.
A tall order, indeed, but one which AMD hopes its three new APUs help fill. AMD says the entry-level part code-named "Temash", in fact, is aimed at an entirely new type of device: the "Performance Tablet", for which AMD has rolled out a new branding term: "Elite Mobility".
