News: AMD's Puma prepares to pounce
 

Most of the news pouring forth from Computex thus far has been focused on smaller devices, but AMD has its sights set on a big cat, Puma, the firm's new platform for mainstream laptop PCs, which it officially announced today. Puma will do battle against Intel's upcoming Centrino 2 platform later this year. For the most part, Puma represents the "mobilization" of AMD's current desktop PC technologies, with a necessarily increased focus on dynamic power and performance scaling. Overall, that's not a bad place to start, and Puma adds some notable innovation on several fronts.
