AMD C-Series microprocessor family

First details about C-50 appeared in November 2010, and, also in November, the CPU was rumored to be used in upcoming Acer 10" tablet (still not released as of end of February 2011). Information about one of the first netbook models with this CPU, Acer Aspire One 522, was disclosed in December 2010. The microprocessor was launched next month, in January, at CES in Las Vegas. The AMD C-50 integrates two CPU cores, running 200 MHz slower than the single core on the C-30, and still manages to fit 9 Watt thermal envelope. Performance-wise, this model is clearly better choice than the C-30 due to higher multi-threaded performance, and improved system responsiveness.
