The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
www.netbooknews.com – Finally Bobcat arrived. We are taking a look at the AMD Ontario platform which is sporting a Dualcore Zacate CPU running at 18W TDP. The Netbook version of Ontario will run at 9W. The game AMD is showing you is called City of Heroes: Going Rogue

FINALY i note book i will actually use ! Love AMD!
Looks good. Wonder how much a complete Ontario netbook will consume. Would be nice to get the battery life of an atom on an AMD and finally get some 11.6" + netbooks for reasonable prices.
This may not be the breakthrough for Desktop gaming, but it will be much for mobile platforms for sure. I wonder if any affect would occur if you combined the APU with a dedicated graphics card (would that mean an improvement in physics capabilities? considering that now the CPU has the capabilities of a GPU). If true then that would mean a better performance in games with the APU’s + dedicated video over CPU’s + dedicated video in games with physics engines (which is most games today)
@hornistsnest not to sound rude but last i checked intel dropped out their research on gpu+cpu, they don’t think there is a future for it.
I spy a graphic card connecting to the apu system
If anything in Apple’s short history with Intel were to make them question their hardware roadmaps, these AMD parts are it.
We’ll have to wait and see how good Intel’s new chips will be, but if they’re not much better, what will a company like Apple do?
It’s something interesting to think about, if Sandy Bridge can’t compete with these parts, the Apple philosophy is in serious danger..
@feilongliu Zacate will be 40 nm. Llano (due 2nd half of 2011) will be 32nm with up to 4 cores.
@mikewolf78
Anatech did a review, at 1024×768, both at low settings, the Core i5 machine did about 25 FPS and the Zacate more like 39 FPS.
For another game Zacate was about 4 FPS higher. Nothing to get that excited about I guess.
Do they feel the need to pick on Intel graphics in their demos for any kind of a reason?
Books appear more quickly! AHHHHH IT’s A REVOLUTION!
The older guy should’ve talked through the whole video.. The younger guy was too camera shy
ARM’s is much less wattage, probably less performance.
We’ve got some good competition!
Debating whether to go with ARM Cortex a15 or whatever AMD’s newest chip would be.
Looks great! I’m loving my single core 1.6 GHz Athlon Neo / Radeon Mobility 3200 netbook, if it could consume less power and last longer on battery I’d be excited.
zacate processor using 40 nm or 32 nm ????
@frozencold199 Again not true, the settings were the same. Zacate specs for that machine were 1.6 ghz dual core, while the i5 is a 2.4 ghz 4 core. Get the point? The point is that no one really notices the overall 40 secs itunes conversion time, or 3 min time, the extra $2-300 will get you that extra 3 min. the 1090t is an unlocked processor @4.1 ghz it gets you nearly 85% of the $1000.00 980 Extreme performance. AND you can drop it in ANY AM2+3 mobo. Real world daily use vs Uncle monopoly.
@mikewolf78 They are running the exact settings. This was demonstrated at the Intel Development Forum. No Intel exec, or Intel Developer refutes the superiority of Zacate over the i5 notebook. In fact AMD even gave Zacate to Andtech who doubted the results. They forced new drivers into the i5 and got better cpu results, besting Zacate by a few points. But the Superiority of Zacate still won out. You can check out the article yourself, just google it.
@jprincehouston not true, Sandy Bridge mobile chips ARE NOT DIRECT X 11 capable. Zacate and Fusion chips are. And competition is good, or otherwise Uncle Monopoly would be selling us $1000.00 processor chips in laptops too. The Merger between ATI and AMD will bring more interesting GPU’s and APU’s soon.
So this is a netbook? Pretty impressive.
Sooo happy:)
@jprincehouston
there is no chance whatsoever that intel sandy bridge can provide 5770
gpu performance. utter rubbish.
@jprincehouston
1. bobcat + fusion is aimed at netbooks,low-power devices.
that’s right it’s been built to reinvent the netbook platform, which although sold well, has always lacked an out of order cpu+ powerful enough graphics.
It’s not been designed to compete with the i3/i5 m series platform. Thats upto Llano,(Llano will probably offer greater gpu peformance but lack cpu performance when compared to the sandy bridge ).
fusion should provide near 5650 performance, intel is around 5450 +/-
How late is AMD to the race, when the i3 is already superior to anything that AMD has out now in the mobile space. Fusion is 3 years late and it is well known that the Sandy Bridge mobile chips have graphics capabilities equivalent to Radeon 5770 in turbo mode. AMD shouldn’t even bother to compete with Intel.
dude, this is bullcrap. show us graphics detail settings on both machines. it’s clearly visible that game running on amd system has most (if not all of them) graphic features turned off. on intel machine I can see textures on the floor, lighting effects, shadow maps, NONE of them are visible on amd machine. no wonder that on intel machine fps is choppy. that’s cheating (as always with amd, it seems…)
I don’t believe thats an i5, also you’re not supposed to be playing games on integrated graphics, thats why companies make graphics cards
look at any bench mark and you’ll see intel crushes amd for ever cpu
even the i5 750 beats amd’s hexicore processor with a much lower clock speed
run a real test like rendering videos not just frame rates on a game and on a web browser
Also amd’s test system used a lot lower resolution screen than the so called i5 which increases performance dramatically
