Here we've got the fruits of a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/amd-kinda-sorta-takes-aim-at-atom-with-athlon-neo/"AMD's new Neo platform/a: the Pavilion dv2 series of entertainment laptops. Starting at 3.8-pounds with a keyboard 8% short of full-sized, this 12.1-inch (1,280 x 800 pixels) ultra-portable features a 1.6GHz Athlon Neo MV-40 processor, up to 4GB of memory and 500GB of disk, optional 802.11n WiFi, and WWAN (a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/gobi"Gobi/a) support. Now what if we told you that this 64-bit Vista Home Premium laptop (no need for the XP fallback here kids) measures less than an inch thick and can be configured with ATI Mobility Radeon HD3410 discrete graphics and an external Blu-ray player for $899 when it ships in March? More you say? Ok, there's also Bluetooth, HDMI-out, an integrated webcam, and 3.5 to 4-hours of battery with prices set to start at $699.

img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/01/yukon-badge.jpg" alt="" /And here you thought a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/conesus"AMD's 45-nm Conesus/a was its next generation netbook / ultra-portable processor. Sorry, for that you'll have to wait until the beginning of the second half of 2009 according to Bahr Mahony, Director of AMD's mobile division who we just spoke with here at CES. Instead, AMD's Athlon Neo ultra-portable platform built around existing 65-nm processes is scheduled to make its retail debut in the US in March. Remember, AMD a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/amd-says-its-ignoring-netbooks-will-focus-on-ultraportables/"won't be challenging Intel/a in a race to the bottom so Neo is aimed squarely at that soft, chewy marketshare nestled between the underperforming $499 netbook and over-the-top $1,499 ultra-portable. Neo boasts more processing power than Intel's 45-nm Atom at the cost of a higher load on your battery thanks to the 35W thermal envelop of the Neo chipset combined with a discrete, ATI Mobility Radeon Hd 3410 graphics. The result however is what AMD calls balanced performance from ultra-thin notebooks capable of smooth 1080p playback of your HD media -- a feat that Atom-based netbooks saddled with integrated graphics struggle with. Interesting, now let's see the 3rd party benchmarks. AMD's data versus the Atom posted after the break.pa href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/amd-kinda-sorta-takes-aim-at-atom-with-athlon-neo/" rel="bookmark"Continue reading emAMD kinda sorta takes aim at Atom with Athlon Neo/em/a/ppFiled under: a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/ces/" rel="tag"CES/a, a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag"Laptops/a/pp style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/amd-kinda-sorta-takes-aim-at-atom-with-athlon-neo/"AMD kinda sorta takes aim at Atom with Athlon Neo/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.engadget.com"Engadget/a on Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:01:00 EST.

Oh hells yes. We've a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/engadget-is-live-from-ces-2009/"arrived at CES/a in full nerd style. We sent a href="http://www.ryanblock.com/"Moms/a to Atlantic City so us kids could hijack the trailer all the way to Vegas baby, Las Vegas. And in true Kojak style we parked right in front of the central hall just outside the Las Vegas Convention Center. What better base to provide the best CES 2009 coverage on the Net?

From our perspective, it appears that we've reached a tipping point with regards to interest in the electric / hybrid automobile. No wonder considering the environmental and national security risks presented by a continuation of an oil-only approach. Unfortunately for the troubled US automotive industry (and economy), the single biggest money generator from a global fleet of electronic vehicles -- the lithium-ion battery cell -- is a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/03/panasonic-agrees-to-controlling-stake-in-sanyo-details/"likely to be manufactured in Asia/a along side the lithium ion batteries found in our consumer electronics. According to the Wall Street Journal, "More than four dozen advanced battery factories are being built in China but none, currently, in the U.S." That could change, however, with a little determination, private investment, and a government willing to clear the way for manufacturing of this highly toxic contributor to the US infrastructure. Already, we've seen that a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/andy-grove-pushing-intel-to-manufacture-electric-car-batteries/"Intel is being coaxed into building electric car batteries/a. Now, a group of 14 firms (including 3M and Johnson Controls-Saft) have stepped up to form an alliance with a US government laboratory. The National Alliance for Advanced Transportation Battery Cell Manufacture is modeled after SEMATECH, a public-private venture from the 80s that helped restore US prominence in computer semiconductor technology. The goal is to create a shared-cost, "open foundry" for members to perfect and ultimately produce automotive batteries. Problem is, they need upwards of $2 billion to build a plant to manufacture batteries that no one has ordered. Of course, that's a pittance when compared to the a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/04/gm-chief-to-drive-chevy-volt-in-search-of-18-billion-handout/"bailout requests made by the Big 3/a.

While Microsoft won't be handing it out as an update for your WinMo 6 device, ROM cookers are making a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/6on6"Internet Explorer Mobile 6/a available now. Paul over at MoDaCo has built a custom ROM for the HTC a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/touch%20hd"Touch HD/a that includes IE Mobile 6 -- that's "6 on 6" as they say. Unfortunately, it's only available as a ROM update, not as an invdividual application installer. If you recall, a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/11/19/microsoft-says-no-6-on-6-upgrade-for-current-devices/"Microsoft said that IE Mobile 6 won't be offered for download/a, because "the rich media experiences that IE Mobile 6 enables require more powerful, advanced devices."
