AMD Rekindles Notebook War

"San Francisco, Calif. AMD has introduced a "mainstream" notebook platform designed to provide improved performance for multimedia applications and 3D gaming. Tigris - which has already been adopted by 8 OEMs - supports full 1080p HD playback and offers up to 25 percent longer battery life (55+ minutes) than previous AMD mobile platforms."

Notebooks have been dominating the sales charts for quite a while now, and Intel, with its Core 2 line, has been sitting nicely at the top of the chart. AMD first struck at Intel in the netbook segment with its ION platform, and it looks like they are now ready to compete on bigger laptops. Tigris and Condo appear to offer some impressive boosts over Intel in both performance and battery life. The charts they provide are pretty, but the past few years, I've seen AMD's mobile line run pretty hot and with poor battery life. I really hope they have come up with a real contender(s) here but I will wait until the reviews come out to believe all their claims.
