Toshiba details its AMD laptops

By

Toshiba will launch three laptops in its Satellite range in North America based on AMD’s Turion 64 X2 dual-core chip and M690 chipset, AMD said on Wednesday. Toshiba, which confirmed plans on Tuesday for AMD machines but offered no details, said Wednesday that the computers will be available in the third quarter.

The M690 chip set has just been launched by AMD and will, according to the company, help reduce power consumption and lead to a 25 percent increase in battery life compared to the previous-generation AMD platform. The Japanese PC maker, which ranked fourth in the laptop market in the first quarter of this year, hasn’t used AMD chips in laptops since 2000.
