AMD on March 29 announced the availability of its M690 chipset for its Turion64 X2 dual-core mobile CPUs.

The AMD M690 is powered by the ATI RadeonX1200 series graphics processor. As the first mobile AMD chipset to support ATI Avivo technology and integrated HDMI and DVI connectivity options, the AMD M690 series provides smooth video playback and vivid images for all multimedia applications, including high-definition content, according to AMD.

To ensure longer battery life, the AMD M690 incorporates memory technology known as Display Cache, designed to allow the CPU to operate in low-power mode without accessing system memory, according to the company. The platform-level innovation coupled with the energy-efficient processor design of AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology extends battery life by up to 30 minutes over previous AMD mobile technologies, claims the company.

Notebooks based upon the AMD M690 and AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology will be available in designs from leading computer manufacturers, including Asus, HP and Fujitsu Siemens Computing, noted AMD.
