AMD processors are known for delivering high performance, but they aren’t necessarily energy efficient. While they are ideal for powering huge desktop replacement laptops, they just can’t be used in netbooks and ultraportables which are expected to give excellent battery life. Needless to say AMD processors are seldom used in low cost notebooks and netbooks. But now 11 and 12 inch laptops with Intel CULV processors are getting popular and AMD has realized that it just can’t ignore this territory.

The company soon plans to release its next generation of chips aimed at thin and light computers. The new chips are part of AMD’s third-generation Nile platform. They are expected to start shipping in 2010 and 2011. AMD claims that the new chips could give 7 or more hours of battery life in ultraportables. AMD is also making new Bobcat chips for netbooks and ultrathin notebooks.
