AMD has announced the release of its two newest mobile platforms for notebooks, the Tigris and the Congo. Both are aimed at improving multimedia performance as well as battery life.
Tigris is targeted at the "mainstream" notebook market, and is rated by AMD as capable of full 1080p HD video playback with DirectX 10.1 support while simultaneously providing up to 25% longer battery life (translating to an expected maximum of 55+ additional minutes) than previous AMD platforms. The platform will feature a number of power saving innovations, including me buffer compression, PSI support, dynamic backlight reduction. It will also offload video from the 45nm dual core Caspian CPUs to the Radeon HD 4200 GPU, improving performance.The Congo platform will also support 1080p HD and DirectX 10.1, but will manage slightly longer battery life as a result of utilizing dual core Neo CPUs and an Radeon HD 3200 GPU. Both platforms are expected to be in notebooks in time for the release of Windows 7.
