AMD has been battling Intel for years now. The company may not have the upper hand against Intel in most cases, but it does make powerful CPUs and has a decent following going. From time to time, the chip maker comes up with solutions that can hold up their own against Intel products. The company was first skeptic about the netbook market, but in the past few months we have seen the company enter the netbook and CULV markets. The company’s plan to bring more Fusion CPUs to the market shows the company’s dedication to stepping up its efforts in the netbook market.

AMD’s Fusion CPUs will come with integrated ATI processors. That means you won’t have to pick up Nvidia ION to get decent performance from your netbook on the go. AMD will be using its next generation netbook processors to go after netbooks of 12 inch size and less. These processors won’t be out in netbooks anytime soon. Until then, you can rely on AMD Athlon X2 (used in MSI U230-040US) to get the job done.
