AMD to integrate USB 3.0 support in upcoming chipsets; launching more CPUs in 2H10
Although we might have to wait a while to see USB 3.0 integrated officially into an Intel motherboard chipset, AMD appear to be more on the ball when it comes to such functionality, while this particular report also brings us news of AMD's CPU launch plans for the second half of this year.
AMD is currently in talks with Renesas Electronics, which was merged with Japan-based NEC, about the licensing of USB 3.0 technology, and is considering integrating USB 3.0 support in its upcoming Hudson D1 southbridge chipsets, according to sources from notebook makers.
The Hudson D1 chipset will be introduced for AMD's 40nm Ontario APUs that are set to be shipped in the fourth quarter of 2010. The new platform will mainly target the ultra-thin notebook and netbook markets.

ATI's Southern Islands due in late October?
We've already heard suggestions from a number of sources that ATI's next-generation graphics architecture will be heading our way before the year is out - Now the latest speculation suggests that we'll be seeing the first so-called "Southern Islands" parts by the end of October.
ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, reportedly plans to formally launch its first second-generation DirectX 11 graphics processing units (GPUs) sometimes in the second half of October, 2010. The new lineup is projected to bring new performance heights to the high-end product segment, but it is not clear whether there will be sufficient amount of the new ATI Radeon HD 6000-series graphics processors this calendar year.
AMD's graphics unit reportedly set the launch window for the next-generation graphics processors for premium segment to 15 - 29 of October, 2010, according to Heise.de web-site that cites "reliable corporate sources". This is the second or the third confirmation about ATI's intention to release the code-named Southern Islands chips for performance-demanding applications in Q4 2010.
