AMD today announced the introduction of the Alchemy™ Au1100™ processor, targeting the non-PC mobile internet appliance market, such as web pads, telematics, and PDAs. Currently being sampled, the innovative Au1100 offers an industry-leading combination of high performance, low power and high integration.
“AMD is committed to meeting the needs of our customers,” said Billy Edwards, vice president and general manager, Personal Connectivity Solutions. “They asked us to bring AMD’s quality and passion for innovation to this market, and to provide products such as the Au1100 processor. At 400 MHz on 250 mWatts – half the power of our Au1000™ - they will not be disappointed.”
The convergence of several trends in technology, i.e. toward low power, high performance processors, broadband wireless communications and sophisticated Internet use, has both industry and consumers thinking beyond the PC. Mobile information appliances are expected to have increased functionality and to take many new innovative forms.
