AMD unveils Bobcat low power CPU details
AMD is starting to make a name for itself with low power, moderate performance chips that are showing up in netbooks and ultraportable notebooks including the Acer Aspire One 521 and Dell Inspiron M101z. But the company's not done pumping out chips for the budget ultraportable market. In fact, AMD is just getting started.
Today AMD unveiled new details about its upcoming Bobcat platform for small, low power devices such as netbooks, nettops, and tablets. Bobcat is the processor core that will show up in the Ontario chips due out in early 2011.
AMD says Bobcat is capable of operating on less than a watt of energy, but it's an x86 processor with out0of-order execution, which means it should be more than capable of powering Windows and other complex operating systems. According to AMD, the Bobcat core offers 90% of the power you expect from a mainstream chip today, while using less than half the silicon area.
Ontario chips will combine the Bobcat CPU with a graphics processor and high speed bus to offer a complete chipset. Of course, we won't really know how the Ontario chipset compares with existing technology such as Intel's Atom or ULV platforms or the AMD Neo chips available today until the new chips are released early next year. And by that time, Intel will likely have launched its next-generation Oak Trail platform for mobile devices. The march of progress never stops.
AMD to launch new low power chips for thin and light notebooks
AMD is a chip maker that's best known for making high performance processors, not energy efficient chips. And they definitely aren't known for producing processors that will help a PC attain long battery life.
While that's great if you're putting together a gaming rig or a home theater PC, it means that AMD hasn't offered much for the low cost netbook and thin and light notebook space, pretty much ceding the territory to Intel (and to a lesser degree VIA and ARM). But with the growing popularity of 11 and 12 inch laptops with Intel CULV processors, it's becoming clear that a fair number of people are looking for something in between a low power netbook and a souped up desktop replacement. And AMD is taking notice.
The company has outlined its next generation set of chips aimed at thin and light computers. The new chips will be part of AMD's third-generation Nile platform and they'll begin rolling out in 2010 and 2011. AMD says the new chips could power ultraportables that will get 7 or more hours of battery life.
The Nile platform should be ready in the first half of 2010. AMD is also preparing new Bobcat chips for "ultrathin" notebooks and netbooks for 2011. This is the first time I can recall that AMD has use the term "netbook" to describe any of its products, so the announcement represents a bit of a change for the company. Bobcat is part of the Brazos line which is described as a "low cost, low-power ultraportable platform… which will contain the ‘Bobcat' core and integrated GPU."
You can check out a slidehow of AMD's presentation after the break.
Update: EE Times has the most succinct description of the new Bobcat chips I've seen yet. Bobcat will consume less than 2W of power, and the chips will be capable of running at less than 1W. They may offer slightly less performance than today's Atom chips, which basically means that this isn't a case of AMD deciding that netbooks were becoming powerful enough to justify the company building a chip. Rather, AMD decided to try producing a chip that could compete with Intel's Atom processor head to head which kind of says to me that AMD execs realized the netbook space is too big to keep ignoring.
