AMD Puma Platform

Published August 18th, 2008 in Hardwares Zones.

Puma is a new mobile/laptop platform from AMD, not sport wear.

AMD Puma consists of three ingredients:- The new Turion X2 / Turion X2 Ultra mobile processorsAMD M780G (RS780M) mobile chipset and 802.11a/b/g/n compliant Wi-Fi chip from third party vendors.

Although AMD’s mobile processors have already been using the 65nm manufacturing process since mid 2007 with the ‘Tyler’ core, those were still using the old architecture that was prevalent since 2006 when the Turion 64 X2 first came to light. Despite the major core updates, the processor will still bank on existing marketing nomenclature and continue the Turion naming scheme.
