Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) announced its new M690 chipset with integrated graphics allowing the use of Windows Vista features such as Areo, Flip and Flip 3D on appropriate versions of the operating system.

While the 690 was designed to work with AMD’s Athlon and Sempron processors, the M690 works with Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile systems. Incorporating the ATI Radeon X1200 series GPU, AMD positions it as capable of delivering the full Vista graphical experience.

“With AMD’s graphics engine expertise and our mobile processor leadership, AMD delivers a cohesive mobile platform for commercial and consumer customers that demand the Windows Vista Premium experience on the go,” said Phil Eisler, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD Chipset Division. “AMD CPU and GPU technologies work in tandem to deliver increased battery life for mobile workers and consumers who demand a superior graphics and multimedia experience wherever the road takes them.”

As the first mobile AMD chipset to support ATI Avivo technology and integrated HDMI and DVI connectivity options1, the AMD M690 series provides smooth video playback and vivid images for all multimedia applications, including high-definition content.

“HP and AMD have a strong track record of working together to provide innovative mobile solutions,” said Carol Hess-Nickels, director, worldwide business notebook marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP. “HP offers exceptional mobile products that address the needs of users and AMD’s M690 is another example of its customer-centric focus.”

Notebooks based upon the AMD M690 and AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology will be available in designs from leading computer manufacturers including ASUS, HP and Fujitsu Siemens Computing.
