Whoa, Nelly! AMD, a company that has struggled
to nail its ship dates in years past, has just pulled the ultimate 180.
If you'll recall, we heard last month that its quad-core Llano APU was
on track for a Q3 2011 release,
but now, we've word straight from the equine's mouth that the action
will be going down far sooner. In fact, AMD's Singapore plant just
celebrated the first shipment of the company's 32nm Llano A-series APUs,
complete with discrete-level graphics and a promise to change the way
we think about netbook / nettop / ultraportable performance. Of course,
just because these chips are headed out to OEM partners doesn't mean
that they'll be gracing the pages of your favorite PC maker tomorrow;
Chief Financial Officer and Interim CEO Thomas Seifert notes that AMD is
looking forward to seeing Llano-based machines during this quarter, but given that Q2 just got going, we may be waiting awhile still. Nothing like a little Zacate to tide you over in the meantime, right?
