Fujitsu Siemens have unveiled two new notebooks powered by AMD’s Puma platform, the Amilo Sa 3650 a 13.3-inch ultraportable and the Amilo Xa 3530 a 17-inch multimedia desktop-replacement. Both feature AMD’s Turion X2 Ultra processor, eSATA, Bluetooth 2.1 and a glossy-finish BrilliantView display. They also have water-resistant keyboards and an ’underclock’ button that slows the CPU and graphics processing to improve battery life.
AMD has announced its latest mobile processor, the Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core, which together with the ATI Radeon HD 3000-series graphics will form the basis of its new Puma mobile platform. The company is claiming their focus has been multimedia performance and energy efficiency; one or both of the CPU cores can be throttled down or cut completely depending on load, as can the integrated memory controller, and it can selectively offset graphics encoding/decoding to a dedicated video processor when under stress. While systems using Puma will be available shortly, late in Q3 AMD will begin shipping versions of the platform with PowerXpress: the ability to switch between onboard and discrete graphics chips without requiring a reboot.
