AMD Roadmap announcement highlights Griffin chips

“Griffin” is the name AMD uses for CPUs in its upcoming “Puma” laptop platform and four of these chips are highlighted in the processor roadmap ComputerBase.de has revealed today.

The roadmap announces the following chipsets:

Turion 64 Ultra

2MB L2 cache, DDR2 800MHz memory compatible, 2GHz to 2.4GHz, consumption: 32 to 35 Watts

Turion 64 dual core

1MB L2 cache, DDR2 800MHz memory compatible, 2GHz to 2.4GHz, consumption: 32 to 35 Watts

Athon 64

1MB L2 cache, DDR2 667MHz memory compatible, 1.9GHz+, consumption: 31 Watts

Sempron “Sable”

Single Core, 512KB L2 cache, 2GHz+, consumption: 25 Watts

The new chips are claimed to be suited for machines where more demanding power consumption criteria apply and enable the firm to continue to supply chips to laptops that are getting ever thinner and for a market that demands ever more usage between recharges.

The roadmap includes the Griffin chips along with the RS780 mobile chipset with the DirectX 10 ready HD3200 integrated graphics and the Unified Video Decoder. The mobile chips include PowerXpress allowing dynamic switching between integrated and discrete graphics to further improve battery performance.

The ”Griffin” -powered laptops will begin to ship in June 2008.
