The AMD E1-1200, which is going to replace the AMD E-300 series Accelerated Processing Unit, has been spotted in a new Acer Aspire E1 laptop PC.
We’ve tried to find differences between the E1-1200 and E-300, but there are only a few of them and the updates are minor. Both dual-core processors belong to the 40-nanometer “Zacate” APU family and have 512KB of L2 cache, a power consumption of 18W, and UVD3 for 1080p HD video decoding. The new APU has a slightly higher clock speed of 1.4GHz as opposed to 1.3GHz on the E-300. The E1-1200 has the built-in AMD Radeon HD 7310 integrated graphics, but judging from its specs it’s the old 80-shader HD 6310 with clock speed set to 500MHz instad of 488MHz.
Retailers and computer makers in the U.S. have started announcing their Cyber Monday laptop deals for 2011, offering great savings on notebooks, netbooks, and tablets this year.
