According to Gizmodo, Silicon-Valley-chipmaker AMD is rumored to develop a Low Power CPU for Tiny Cheap Laptops. The cheap, low power processor space for stuff like lil’ notebooks is just about the hottest one around, so AMD would be silly to pass it up, especially when it preached the benefits of efficiency long before Intel came around to that school of thought, the source states and quotes a leaked slide shows AMD might have one up its sleeves—64-bit, 1GHz, and an 8W thermal power design, which puts in more in range of Via’s Nano processors than Intel’s Atom, meaning it’s not quite ultra-ultraportable appropriate.
