AMD is preparing a new series APU Tablet

first generation of accelerated processors AMD, belonging to the platform Brazos, failed to appear in many netbooks and notebooks, thin, but with the tablet because of the relatively high power consumption (9W in the case of efficient C-30 and C-50), things are not so smoothly. However, recent rumors indicate that AMD is working on a much more energy-efficient processors, designed specifically for tablets.

It is reported that these processors will belong to the T series and will be based on the same 40nm architecture as the current line of C and E, but will get some optimizations and modifications that reduce energy consumption. As a result, refinements

maximum power consumption of data chips will be at no more than 5 watts, which, however, at 2 watts higher than that recently presented a tablet processor Intel Atom Z670 (Oak Trail). However, the equivalent from AMD should have a better performance in both conventional as well as in graphic tasks.

Despite the fact that AMD has not made any official statements on the APU Series T, in the early years the company has already demonstrated at a press conference in Singapore, five-watt version of its C-50 processor. Shown when accelerated processor has two processing cores x86, the same frequency of 1 GHz and Radeon HD 6250 graphics, and less energy efficient that the 9-watt analog Ontario. To accomplish this, AMD, along with other changes agreed to use a flatbed processor simpler and slower memory controller, a smaller number of ports and video output.

next major breakthrough in energy efficiency for AMD will take place when the company will release its first 28-nm processor, entry-level accelerated Wichita and Krishna. Rumors say that these chips have already passed the stage of «tape out» and will shipped to interested manufacturers in the last quarter of the year.
