How would you like a ultra mobile PC that switches between seperate high and low-end graphics processors based on its power profile?
Reading quickly through this article on the AMD Griffin mobile silicon architecture certainly brings up some interesting concepts. Like the above live GPU switching and dual, independently powered and clocked cores.
Griffin and Puma make for a very promising and capable mobile platform, with a feature set that (by the time you factor in an ATI-designed mobile GPU) should be mostly competitive with Intel.
I haven’t had a chance to put Menlow and Griffin architectures side by side yet (not much is known about Menlow at this stage) but it certainly looks like there will be a third high-end ultra mobile PC CPU and chipset manufacturer in 2008.
Read the, quite technical, but very good (as usual) Arstechnica report here.
