With CPU, GPU and chipset under one roof after the merger of AMD and ATI, AMD has been introducing a number of platform solutions integrating CPU, GPU and chipset for a particular niche market segment. For example, AMD launched the Puma notebook platform in May 2007, which consisted of Griffin processor and RS780 mobile chipset; the Spider platform for Game enthusiasts in Nov 2007, which consisted of Phenom processors, ATI Radeon HD 3800 cards and the AMD 7-Series chipset.
Yesterday, AMD announced the first commercial desktop platform, Business Class, which consists of native Phenom X3 or X4 processors, as well as Athlon X2 processors and a AMD 780V chipsets with optional ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 series discrete graphics (Ref). The platform also supports non-AMD graphics and chipsets. One prominent feature of this Business Class platform is the support for stability and longevity up to 24 months. The Business Class platform is also designed to take full advantage of the rich visual experience and enhanced productivity features of Windows Vista and enables businesses to upgrade when the time is right.
