AMD Strengthens Global Partnership with Clevo to Distribute Notebooks Powered by AMD Platform Technology to Emerging Mobile Markets

(Business News & Technology News, 9 Sep 2009)

AMD (NYSE:AMD) announced that Clevo, a global notebook manufacturer based in Taiwan, is now providing notebooks powered by AMD platform technology. Combining ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570 graphics, the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 processor and the AMD M690G chipset, these new entry-level notebooks deliver advanced performance and mobility benefits.
The new Clevo notebooks deliver the multi-tasking performance and graphics power people need when enjoying 3D applications like maps, movies, online videos, digital photos, video games, music and TV programs at home or on the go.
Continuing its long-standing technology partnership with Clevo, AMD focused on providing a highly differentiated solution that maps back to the top computing priorities. These include superior graphics and video capabilities and larger screen options than what is typically offered in similarly-priced netbook solutions for emerging mobile markets such as Brazil or Taiwan.
