bit-tech have posted an interesting look at AMD's upcoming ultra-thin mobile platform, the Athlon Neo.

Here's an excerpt:

"AMD does basic low power very well indeed, so in theory this platform should be close to a walk in the park. What's more, it has all the hardware it needs to make a kick ass alternative to the Atom powered netbooks dominating the market at the moment, but Yukon based products need to be here sooner than April. If that doesn't happen, we believe AMD will be left behind with a great idea and no market because it has moved on by the time product arrives."


This is a step in the right direction for AMD, since it fills a sizeable void in the mobile market, but AMD must rush this to the market or they will lose a solid opportunity.
