14 DAY TRIAL // With a little more over a week to go until AMD makes its mobile Llano processors official, a German online retailer has listed the first notebook powered by these APUs, a Hewlett Packard-built Pavilion dv6, which also features Hybrid CrossFireX graphics.
The notebook is powered by AMD's upcoming A6-3410MX accelerated processing unit (APU), which combines together four high-performance Husky K10.5 processing cores with an on-die graphics unit.
The quad-core chip has a base frequency of 1.6GHz, 4MB of Level 2 cache, a 45W TDP and also supports AMD's new Turbo Core 2.0 technology, which can dynamically adjust the frequency of the CPU according to the tasks run.
Thanks to this addition, the chip can reach speeds as high as 2.3GHz when the operating system uses only one processing thread.
Outside of the four CPU cores, the APU also integrates a dual-channel memory controller which supports DDR3-1600MHz, and low-power DDR3L-1333MHz, DIMMs as well as an on-board GPU.
This is called the Radeon HD 6520G, features 320 stream processing units and its operating frequency is set at 400MHz.
Users who require more graphics power would also be glad to know that HP's Pavilion Dv6-6110SG also comes with an AMD Radeon 6750M discrete graphics card that can run together with the A6-3410MX integrated GPU in a special CrossFireX mode.
The two GPUs are used to drive a 15.6-inch LED backlit display with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels.
The rest of the specs list includes 6GB of DDR3 memory, a 500GB hard drive, and a dual-layer DVD burner. The price of the HP Pavilion dv6-6110SG is set at 590 Euro, including VAT ($659 USD without taxes).
AMD is expected to officially debut its Sabine platform, which is comprised out of the mobile version of Llano and the Hudson M-series chipsets, on June 1 at Computex 2011. (via Nordic Hardware)
