AMD Australia has spill the beanson the caller ’s plan for thinspiration : Intel wo n’t be the only ultra calculator in town ! No — hail presently , we ’ll have AMD Ultrathins in gain to Intel Ultrabooks . Caveat : they might not be thin .
The Australian citesAMD ’s Brian Slattery , who detail some of the format ’s glasses :
Mr Slattery pronounce AMD was n’t being as normative in defining on the nose what Ultrathins would look like and their contour .
Instead it was farm buffalo chip with integrated Radeon graphics on the processor coherent with an Ultrathin form divisor . The GPU would be Direct X compatible for enhanced video playback and play .
“ [ Companies ] can do what they require with them , ” say Slattery . So on the one helping hand , that ’s squeamish , as mandated dimension a la Intel might have in mind we ward off another torrent of MacBook Air clon . But on the other helping hand , there ’s nothing stopping companies from just adhere this chip in an otherwise idiotically designed physical body and call it Ultrathin . Ultrabooks may be derivative as Inferno at the moment , but at least they ’re ripping off something dainty from Apple : velocity , a trim framing , no optic drive , and strong state store . AMD makes spectacular processor , but it sounds like an Ultrathin , at least according to Slattery , need n’t be any of these ultra - things . Will we see fat Ultrathins ? We ’ll in all likelihood line up out at CES , where this and other consumer paradox will be lightly unwrapped . [ AustralianviaTom ’s ironware ]
