n-ster said: If the performance of this would be less than an old single core Atom and the GPU worse then intel's 945 GMA, There would be no real point to this now would there? Performance does matter a little at least.



The AMD Fusion thing looks promising, hopefully we'll see it with this, hope you blow our socks off AMD ;) I desperately wanted an AMD netbook or 11~12" laptop, but nothing had the battery life I wanted and ran too hot. Once fusion gets into netbooks or ultra-portables, I'm jumping on them for sure.



Now I am anxious to know any specifics about this. :p



Passive cooling should be an option. Maybe the fan is a just in case they want to fit it in something small with no or almost no airflow?

Pre-release numbers seem to suggest the CPU portion blows Atom out of the water. In heavy CPU task at the same TDP and power consumption, nothing came close. I can't say for sure, but this is why Intel and Nvidia decided to put their boxing gloves away for now; so they can work together "so to speak" on a single chip solution to compete here quickly.Passive cooling is not only possible, but we have already seen an ITX mobo with this chip and a passive heatsink. I guess you have not been on TPU for the last few days. You idea for a netbook around that size with this chip is very very likely.Here are some links to give you an idea of what to expect as far as products for this chip:The flagship for this lineup that has been featured the most:E-Series E-350 Zacate1.6 Ghz (multiplier set at 8x)TDP 18WGPU: 6310 @ 500 Mhz
