AMD launches Danube and Nile platform

It's been a busy week for AMD. Yesterday AMD added 6 new desktop Athlon II processors, and today they launched mainstream and ultrathin notebook platforms. Two microprocessor families shipped with these mobile platforms were rebranded - "Turion II Ultra" family was changed to "Phenom II", and "V Series" family replaced "Sempron Mobile". According to a footnote in AMD's press release, this year PC manufacturers are going to launch 109 laptops based on mainstream "Danube" platform, and 26 notebooks/netbooks based on ultrathin "Nile" platform.

Mainstream platform, codenamed Danube, consists from AMD M880G chipset with integrated Radeon HD 4250 graphics, and 12 microprocessors, ranging from single-core V series V120 to Quad-Core Phenom II X920 Black Edition:

Model	Cores	Frequency	L2 cache	TDP
Phenom II Quad-Core Mobile X920 BE	4	2.3 GHz	2 MB	45 Watt
Phenom II Quad-Core Mobile N930	4	2.0 GHz	2 MB	35 Watt
Phenom II Quad-Core Mobile P920	4	1.6 GHz	2 MB	25 Watt
Phenom II Triple-Core Mobile N830	3	2.1 GHz	1.5 MB	35 Watt
Phenom II Triple-Core Mobile P820	3	1.8 GHz	1.5 MB	25 Watt
Phenom II Dual-Core Mobile X620 BE	2	3.1 GHz	2 MB	45 Watt
Phenom II Dual-Core Mobile N620	2	2.8 GHz	2 MB	35 Watt
Turion II Dual-Core Mobile N530	2	2.5 GHz	2 MB	35 Watt
Turion II Dual-Core Mobile P520	2	2.3 GHz	2 MB	25 Watt
Athlon II Dual-Core Mobile N330	2	2.3 GHz	1 MB	35 Watt
Athlon II Dual-Core Mobile P320	2	2.1 GHz	1 MB	25 Watt
V Series V120	1	2.2 GHz	512 KB	25 Watt

All microprocessors in the mainstream platform have 1.8 GHz HyperTransport link frequency. Phenom II and Turion II Mobile families feature 128-bit wide Floating Point Unit, while Athlon II and V series processors have 64-bit FPU. Phenom II CPUs support DDR3-1333 memory, and other families support DDR3-1066. All mainstream mobile processors are manufactured in 638-pin micro-PGA package, and require yet another variation of socket S1 - S1g4.

Ultrathin "Nile" platform consists from AMD M880G chipset and the following 5 processors:

Model	Cores	Frequency	L2 cache	TDP
Turion II Neo Dual-Core Mobile K665	2	1.7 GHz	2 MB	15 Watt
Turion II Neo Dual-Core Mobile K625	2	1.5 GHz	2 MB	15 Watt
Athlon II Neo Dual-Core Mobile K325	2	1.3 GHz	2 MB	15 Watt
Athlon II Neo K125	1	1.7 GHz	1 MB	12 Watt
V Series V105	1	1.2 GHz	512 KB	9 Watt

Turion II line of ultrathin processors has 128-bit wide FPU and 1.6 GHz HyperTransport link. Athlon II and V series ultrathin CPUs have 64-bit wide FPU and 1 GHz HT frequency. All microprocessors on ultrathin platform support DDR3-1066 memory. All ultrathin processors are manufactured in BGA packages.
