AMD (Austin, TX) announced its next-generation notebook platform, offering new AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processors with ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series Graphics for superior 3D performance and HD image quality, says the company, along with wireless connectivity technologies for greater throughput and range.

The AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile processor includes AMD Independent Dynamic Core Technology, a new mobile-optimized memory controller, and power-optimized HyperTransport 3.0. The new mobile AMD 7-series chipset, AMD M780G and AMD SB700, offers integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics and delivers support for Microsoft DirectX 10. The integrated graphics are said to deliver up to 3x the 3D graphics performance of comparable competitor graphics and offer ATI Avivo HD Technology for smooth video playback in hi-def format.

The platform also offers the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series discrete graphics, including the previously announced ATI Mobility Radeon 3400 and 3600 Series, and the new ATI Mobility Radeon 3800 Series, with support for PCI Express 2.0. When using notebooks with both integrated and discrete graphics, users can also benefit from ATI CrossFireX Technology, designed to boost graphics performance up to 70 percent.

The next-generation AMD notebook platform also incorporates the latest in wireless connectivity technologies. Plus, with its innovative power management technologies, including AMD Enhanced PowerNow! Technology and ATI PowerXpress — you save up to 90 minutes of battery life.
