Leaked AMD roadmap reveals next-gen Fusion tablet chips

Posted by newbie Wednesday, July 6, 2011 0 comments
Until recently, AMD has kept pretty mum on its tablet plans, with it only officially entering the fray last month. It's clear that the first batch of Z-Series chips, codenamed Desna, are not terribly different from the rest of the Fusion line. However, according to a leaked roadmap, that will all change with its successor � Hondo. Supposedly the next gen of tablet APUs will ditch a number features that aren't essential to burgeoning form factor, including VGA output, PCIe support, and couple of USB pathways. It will also add an �active standby� mode for maintaining connectivity while reducing power draw and cut TDP by about a third. Hondo is expected to enter production in Q2 of next year, and be succeeded by Samara which will feature a new generation graphics core.
