It seems that some of Intel's Sandy Bridge processors, even one that has yet to be officially launched, and AMD's Radeon HD 6000 graphics have found a home in Sony's latest VAIO mobile PC models.
As end-users know, Intel officially released the Sandy Bridge central processors at the start of January, 2011, just before the Consumer Electronics Show.
Since then, they have shown up in a great many different desktops and laptops, the latter, predictably, in a greater variety and number.
Now, it has been discovered that Sony is no stranger to these latest developments, having even put together a new pair of PCs of its own.
As revealed by the Notebook Review forums, two machines are on the way, bearing the names of Sony VAIO SA and VAIO SB.
Both are so-called ultraportable notebooks with more emphasis on prowess and convenience than affordability.
The VAIO SB (SB1X9E) is the more unassuming of the two, so to speak, as it uses a Core i5 processor, backed by 4 GB of RAM and the Radeon HD 6470M 512MB graphics.
It also comes with a hard disk drive whose capacity is of 500 GB, plus a 13.3-inch display with a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels (HD).
The VAIO SA (SA1X9E/XI) is immediately recognized as the mightier one because of its Intel Core i7-2620M CPU.
It is backed by the same amount of memory as the one featured in the laptop's sibling, but the video card is a significantly stronger Radeon HD 6630M.
The SA has an SSD of 128 GB, according to Engadget at least, and a better 13.3-inch display, with a resolution of 1,600 x 900 pixels.
The VAIO SA will start selling for around 2,500-2,700 Euro whenever its release date is, while the SB is supposedly priced at 1,099 Euro.
