AMD has unveiled M690 chipset. Together with AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, the new AMD M690 motherboard GPU technology enables global OEMs to design notebook PCs that provide users with better graphics and connectivity performance, and increased energy efficiency for extended battery life.

As Phil Eisler, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD Chipset Division, points out, "AMD CPU and GPU technologies work in tandem to deliver increased battery life for mobile workers and consumers who demand a superior graphics and multimedia experience wherever the road takes them."

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.

The AMD M690 is powered by the ATI Radeon X1200 series graphics processor, delivering access to any of the features found in Windows Vista. AMD M690 series provides video playback and vivid images for all multimedia applications, including high-definition content.
