As end-users know, Intel dominates the consumer processor market and, indirectly, the PC marketplace as a whole.Advanced Micro Devices, inside the meantime, has been producing headway and steadily eroding Intel's share.The principal reason behind its success is that it lastly has a viable platform for mobile computers, even if it can be, for now, restricted to the low end. In other words, AMD has processors for netbooks and tablets.LENOVO IDEAPAD S205 NETBOOK AMD
Granted, mobile CPUs came out last year, but only at the start off of January did its chips with built-in graphics show up to battle Intel's Sandy Bridge.
The chips based on the Fusion technologies are x86 CPUs with integrated Radeon HD 6000 (DirectX 11-capable graphics). The first of Lenovo's CES-announced S Series, the S205, sauntered into the personal computer manufacturer's on the internet store this week, albeit lacking the 8GB DDR3 SDRAM choice mentioned at its announcement. The base model sells for $499, sporting a 1.60Ghz dual-core AMD Fusion E-350 CPU, an 11.6-inch (1366 x 768 resolution) 16:9 widescreen panel, 3GB of DDR3 SDRAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 6310 graphics, as well as a 350GB HDD. Two higher cost configurations score an extra gig of RAM, an optional Bluetooth radio, and a 500GB or 750GB HDD. The lesser of the greater end models could be had for a $429 at LogicBuy until Wednesday, if you can live with out Bluetooth (which man did for thousands of years, but you know what we mean).
