In COMPUTEX2011 on, Llano's performance will largely determine the second half of the notebook processor market and market trends.

- Keywords: APU Llano power

- 2, intel Atom processor and a new generation of embedded applications: terms compared to AMD, intel has a large advantage, especially in the field of mobile platforms, but this advantage is narrowing. However, it is clear and will not hesitate to intel, the IDF2011 in April, people can easily find from the previous intel chips have been designed and manufactured to a platform over the strategic, financial and technical strength of the great people can not be overlooked. More recently launched a landmark "3D transistors", but also use it to build a new generation of Atom processors Acer laptop battery, Apple laptop battery, Asus laptop battery,, analysts had said before, with the intel process continues to improve, continue to lower power consumption, with the existing X86 platform will be a threat to the ARM camp.

- It can be seen, intel has the field of netbook and tablet PCs launched a comprehensive attack on the ARM camp. In addition, next year's Ivy Bridge and more next-generation 22nm manufacturing process have been presented in front of everyone.

- Keywords: Atom 22nm 3D transistor

- 3: MeeGo, Win8, Chrome battle operating systems and equipment

- MeeGo operating system is divided into two kinds of notebooks and tablet PCs, in IDF2011 already has a detailed report. The operation has also recently Windows8 fiery, has released several versions, Chrome Google Notebook is designed for notebook and made a cloud operating system, the eyes of some professionals in high regard, held a few days ago Google I / O conference is to be like the mess ... ... the three battle, but also present a major part in the field notebook.

- 4,3 D technology (the naked eye, non-naked eye, and a variety of)

- Also in IDF2011, the author witnessed SuperD alien in a notebook on the back of the set of equipment to achieve through the naked eye 3D effect, very alarming, but also revealed that staff the booth during the year there will be a mature product to the market, not the lack of such on the COMPUTEX2011, 3D device, although probably still do not see the maturity of the product launch, but in these days to see what progress they have is quite encouraging. If they even launched a sophisticated 3D notebook naked eye, it will undoubtedly become the most talked about this COMPUTEX products and technologies.

- 5, VIA VIA glue quad-core processor (better than APU E-350)

- VIA VIA native from Taiwan recently launched its own quad-core Acer laptop battery, Apple laptop battery, Asus laptop battery, processors Nano QuadCore L4700, is used together with two Nano X2 comes close, "glue" the road is the road traveled intel, it is understandable.
