Part of the comeback plan?

AMD has announced an initiative to get ‘Business Class’ chips into small enterprises. This should, in theory, allow hardware vendors to extend the lifecycle of PCs.

Business Class processors will be drawn from the Phenom line, offering dual and quad core chips. In addition, computer builders will be given the opportunity to use Athlon processsors.

The launch of the Puma platform is expected later this year, extending the programme into laptops.

This could be seen as part of AMDs plan to recover from recent losses in the processor market. Admittedly, it’s a start on the long road back to the top but AMD will have to do a lot more work to pull consumers back onside.
