【Vista之家译】配合Vista，AMD推出690G移动芯片组

配合微软的Windows Vista 系统的推出，AMD在月初也发布了他们的690g芯片组，这是AMD第一个整合图形显示的移动芯片组。

除了所谓的Vista的支持，最牛的是AMD的M690芯片组拥有了惊人的节电能力:：比起先前AMD移动技术的芯片，这款M690能增加30多分钟的使用时间。这无疑代表着AMD移动技术的进步。

AMD生成，他们主要采用了显示缓存技术，能让CPU运行在低耗电模式下，因为，CPU不用再频繁操作系统主内存。

m690芯片组的合作伙伴包括华硕、 惠普、富士通西门子等笔记本厂商，预期在四月初，使用这个芯片组的笔记本电脑就能面世。

At the start of the month AMD rolled out 690G, its first mobile chipset with integrated graphics that was capable of running 'Windows Vista Premium' (ie Aero), now the first evolution of this platform is here.

With the arrival of the 'M690' chipset AMD is promoting not just its Vista Premium functionality – that's old hat now – but also its impressive power saving capabilities: an extra 30 minutes 'over previous AMD mobile technologies' says the company, loosely.

AMD calls the wizardry behind this ambiguously beneficial battery boost 'Display Cache' and it is a memory technology which is designed to allow the CPU to operate in low power mode without accessing system memory.

As for the graphics side of things, just like the 690G, this is handled by ATI's Radeon X1200 series GPU. It carries support for Avivo, provides integrated HDMI and DVI connectivity options and is capable of playing back HD content. If this isn't enough a 16x PCI Express port allows for a more powerful external card to be added.

AMD is making the M690 chipset available immediately to partners including Asus, HP and Fujitsu Siemens so expect the first notebooks to appear in early April.

So while the company may be having a hard time of it in the desktop world, when it comes to mobility Intel clearly isn't going to break free without having to withstand a lot of hair pulling and a significant number of knees to the groin.
