got their hands on some details of AMD's answer to the Intel Atom processor platform. Though I don't think Intel will need to worry as these two new low-power Athlon processors use significantly more power than an Atom processor:
1 Cost optimized solution: Low power processor enable new form factors
and a lower Bill of Materials
2 The PC experience users Expect: More than Nettops and Netbooks, AMD
UVC offers traditional PC performance, it will be paired with AMD 690
or AMD 740 chipset for a high quality visual experience
3 Standard platform infrastructures: The 2 CPUs that are part of UVC
use socket s1g1 for notebooks and AM2 for desktops, this enables a
better time to market and lower development costs
