X-bit Labs
has some info about AMD's Brazos platform:
It is a rather alarming situation that AMD currently only has about half a dozen of mini-ITX designs several months before the actual product launch. It hardly makes a lot of sense to build low-end desktops in micro-ATX form-factors, as a result, it is crucially important for AMD to get as much different mini-ITX platforms as possible.
In addition to netbooks and low-end notebooks, AMD also hopes to position Brazos platform – which is based on the Zacate or Ontario processors – for nettops and all-in-one PCs. Dual-core Zacate E350 accelerated processing unit (APU)- and ATI Radeon HD 6310 discrete graphics-based desktops will be sold under AMD Vision label. Meanwhile, single-core Zacate E240 chips will power yet unknown platform currently known as “AMD HD Internet”.
