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.
