Well it is certainly difficult to say that AMD is winning in the netbook market. It certainly should be but due to AMD being AMD they struggle to make as many netbook processors as they should which ultimately leaves them losing out to Intel because the Atom is in plentiful supply. Having looked at the units as wholes we definitely think AMD is the way to go in the netbook market unless you are totally power conscious and only in this case would we say Intel.
Whilst looking at the netbook market in general things certainly look bright for AMD with Direct X 11 ready and dual core APUs in just 9-18W thermal envelopes. On the other hand Intel are really struggling with only Direct X 9 capable Atoms that lack enough gains in the CPU department to make up for their shortcomings in the GPU area and warrant a higher price tag.
AMD vs Intel…AMD this time.
Freakin' great article, guys! Thanks!
Well, this review is one-sided, good work amd fan boys.
Not really, I prefer Intel myself. AMD as of writing the article, offered better notebooks for the same price point.
the AMD c60 get 30 fps on wow on medium. The intel atom wont even run flash games, AMD wins this one hands down fool.
AMD netbooks can run games better, see for your self http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6320.5… this site contains different video cards, even categorized them on the right side. Intel netbooks graphics card are even classified by them as Class 5. and the AMD gpu is on Class 4. this site tested them on games and state the games current fps depending on settings
really a useful article
