14 DAY TRIAL // As some of you will certainly remember, Acer announced back in July a new line of Acer Aspire One netbooks built on the AMD Vision 2010 platform, the 521 and 721 models, and now, the latter has just popped on the Czech market featuring an AMD CPU nobody even knew existed, the Neo K145.
So, as Liliputing reports, it seems that the aforementioned portable computing systems' manufacturer has outed an Acer Aspire One 721 that includes the K145, but only on its Czech Republic website, for some reason, the whole thing going a bit under the radar for the rest of the world.
However, it seems that the K145 shares a few specs with the K125 chip (which was officially revealed as a part of the AMD Vision 2010 platform), including a 12W total power draw and 1MB of L2 cache.
But while the single core K125 chip has a clock speed of 1.7GHz, the K145 reaches 1.8GHz, despite being a single-core CPU.
Apart from the CPU, very little things have changed about the Aspire One 721, the portable computing systems featuring the same 11.6-inch display (1366 x 768 pixels resolution), accompanied by 2 GB of DDR3 memory, a 6-cell battery, and integrated 802.11b/g/n WiFi.
Of course, the 1.3MP web camera and Bluetooth connectivity are also there, although we haven't managed to find out whether the CPU upgrade also brought about a change in the retail price.
While AMD's usually pretty vocal about its new products, we guess that it's been a bit busy lately with its other product ranges in order to grant much attention to the K145.
Also, for the time being, in the field of portable computing systems, AMD's more concerned about promoting its Fusion APUs mobile platform, that should take the market by storm in 2011, rather than promote some low-power CPUs that might actually be approaching the end of life quite fast, only to be replaced by Zacates and Ontarios.
