AMD is set to announce its Brazos platform, a combination of the company's Ontario APU and Hudson chipset, at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011. The company has already prepared its next-generation platform codenamed Deccan, which consists of its Krishna APU and Yuba chipset, according to sources from PC players.

AMD will start internal testing of Deccan in the first quarter of 2011 and will send samples to clients for testing by the end of the second quarter, with mass shipments expected to start as early as the end of 2011, the sources noted.

Although AMD originally did not have strong interest in the netbook market, the company has recently started changing its attitude and its new Brazos platform has already received orders from Micro-Star International (MSI) for its netbook, and Acer for its tablet PC, the sources added
