Optimized for notebooks, the "Falcon" family will feature up to 4 CPU cores in the same processor with an integrated, unified shading architecture and DirectX GPU core for enhanced graphics processing.
"Falcon" will be part of AMD's "Eagle" platform for mobile computing. AMD also went public about "Bobcat" which is designed for maximum energy efficiency and performance-per-watt for next-generation mobile devices, scaling as low as 1 watt.
