AMD has formally launched the first seven entries in its A-Series & Llano& processor line. The A4, A6, and A8 devices target notebook computers -- 11 of them already announced by HP, including two SUSE Linux ready models -- with dual or quad cores, and TDPs of either 35 or 45 Watts....

This week at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) all of the chip community are gathered together to talk about the latest and greatest research and technology breakthroughs, and not share anything that might...
AMD announced an updated SDK (software development kit) allowing programmers to tap into the GPUs (graphics processing units) of its A-Series (& Llano& ) processors. Meanwhile, the Khronos Group released version 4.2 of its OpenGL specification, and AMD and Nvidia have both pledged support for it....
I saw these laptops at the Ubuntu website.
