AMD gets official with Puma mobile platform
If you were already curious as to where AMD would be using its newly announced 780 Series motherboard GPU, lookie here. During a CeBIT press event held today in Germany, AMD solidified details of its looming Puma mobile platform, which will be based on the outfit's Griffin CPU and RS780M chipset. In order for laptops to sport the Puma branding, it must house a Griffin CPU (officially named Turion Ultra), RS780M chipset and a WiFi adapter. According to AMD, Puma-fied lappies will begin shipping at the close of Q2 2008 and will range from $699 to $2,500 (at least initially), but we've no idea which manufacturers will be on board.



















Its not a Puma, its a Warthog.
I dont know, kinda like a cat...we'll call it a PUMA
Didn't I just tell you to stop making up animals!
Hey, Chippa-thingie, how abou that? I like it. Has a ring to it.
" What other animals have tusks ?"
" A walrus sir "
" I said stop making up animals "
lol RvB.
Yes, it is clear to me now that Engadget attracts other bored nerds like me while they're pretending to be working.
Puma huh? Well someone had to come out with competition for Nike+

pukes
on you that is.
Not 1st!
Apple sues for feline trademark infringement.
I think we're one step away from Steve Jobs announcing that the new MacBookPros running Tigre will be running on AMD's PUMA exclusively. Boom!
I don't care what they call it, as long as it competes against Intel and drives down prices.
AMd will get sued by Apple because Apple likes to use cat words to describe their shit. OooooooooH, Im a gigantic MEOW WOW!
billmao was funnier
No offense AMD, but Intel have a serious lead at the moment. Come back when you've closed the gap a little...
what ever happened to AMD LIVE!
Right....come back to me when there is a product better than Intel's. Then I will listen.

You mean.. a product like this?
well, im sure it has potential, but until I see some benchmarks, Intel remains superior.

Puma sounds good. At least they come up with better name unlike intel. good for you amd!
but will it blend?
So are these faster than Core?
If not, sorry I won't trying them.
As long as its price is cheap, I don't care if it goes past 2Ghz. At 2ghz, 2Gb Ram, and a Nvidia 8600GS under the hood of my HP 17", everything runs fine, even for gaming (CoD4 looked pretty good, but frame rates dropped).
So for all those who want a 15" with graphics cards that can be turned off when laptop isn't plugged in for long battery life, Puma should be competitive.
So in order to be a Puma, you have to have a Griffin inside you?...
Well I suppose a griffin is half a cat..
Does it need an "Eagle" wireless chipset too?
I thought they were talking about some shoes.
The designation of cut-cache Sempron vs. higher end Althon was clear enough I guess, but I always thought Turion indicated the mobile version of Athlon. Now we have mobile Athlons and Semprons, what's a Turion supposed to indicate? Or is Turion the platform, like Centrino? I'm getting confused.
