I thought it would be fitting to show a photo of the AMD executives. The landscape of netbooks is about to take a drastic change. The reason? AMD and their upcoming “Ontario” chipset which is designed for netbooks. It’s a direct attack on the Intel Atom. The AMD netbook will have graphic performance that is a game changer. Another code name for this processor is actually “Brazos”. It will also include a dual-core version. This AMD netbook will be DirectX 11 capable.

As in previous posts, I’ve mentioned that I know the industry and have followed it closely from a netbook perspective. What was always lacking was a threat to Intel and the Atom. Now we have it. And it’s coming very soon. We should all praise AMD and wish them success because if their product and technology can compete, the monopoly of Intel will change. We will get more out of our netbooks simply because Intel has to. They will be forced to provide better power and better graphics from Atom because AMD will start to take their business away.

Late 2010 is going to be an amazing time for netbooks. The AMD netbook is indeed the game changer that certainly I’ve been waiting for. Thanks AMD.
