AMD Yukon CPU – for sub notebooks and ultra-thin laptops

AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) is soon going to launch its next generation processor meant for the slim-notebooks. AMD made clear that it is (still) not interested in the mini-notebook market, by which he actually meant netbooks. The Yukon, its upcomig mobile processor will target notebooks having 11-13 inch displays.

“To be clear, Yukon is targeting ultraportables and not netbooks/mini-notebooks,” the AMD spokesman said.
