AMD's recently revealed plans to manufacture a competitor to Intel's Atom are now said to be on track to see the first such processor coming out of a Dresden fab before 2008 draws to a close. Built using the 65nm process, the single-core wannabe Atom killer from AMD will have 64bit support, 256kB of L2 cache and a frequency between 1 and 1.2 GHz.
Equipped with a DDR2 memory controller, AMD's CPU will start shipping in the first half of 2009 when netbooks/nettops powered by it are also expected to hit the stores. With Atom being so popular these days it will be interesting to see which manufacturer will release low-cost PCs based on AMD's upcoming CPU. source:tcmagazine.com
