An AMD Trinity-powered ultra-thin laptop - the HP SleekBook.
AMD officially announced today the “Trinity” processors for laptops and desktops. Among them, for the laptop market are important the AMD A6-4455M and A10-4655M for the Ultrabook-like thin machines, as well as the A6-4400M, A8-4500M, and A10-4800M for the standard notebooks.
The new processors, also called the 2nd Generation A-Series Accelerated Processing Units, are based on the last year’s 32-nanometer production process and include the improved “Bulldozer” cores now called “Piledriver” and the Radeon HD 7000 “Northern Islands” graphics. According to AMD, the Trinity provides up to 2x performance-per-watt improvement over the previous Llano chips. The first reviews show a clear lead of the Trinity over Intel’s Ivy Bridge in terms of graphics, but the AMD’s chips lag behind the competition when it comes to the raw CPU performance.







Mass shipments of Intel Ivy Bridge processors are not expected until after June, 


AMD has updated its Llano Fusion laptop Accelerated Processing Units, adding seven new chips to the lineup. Six new processors are replacements for existing SKUs and deliver 100MHz clock speed bump over their older counterparts, while the seventh part is a brand new one.
