LED Behind the LCD: Understanding LED-Backlit HDTVs :: Posted by THRASHER2
" You've heard about LCDs. You've heard about plasmas. Maybe even you even understand all the pros and cons between them. But what are all these "LED televisions" we keep hearing about? With the crop of LED-backlit HDTVs announced at this year's Consumer Electronics Show finally starting to hit the streets in force, it's a question we hear a lot from budding home theater shoppers.

AMD Introduces New Mainstream and Ultra-Portable Platforms :: Posted by THRASHER2
"The basis for the new ultra-thins is the AMD Turion Neo X2. This is
still a 65 nm processor, which is odd considering that AMD is really pushing
45 nm right now. This is a dual core processor based on a highly modified
Rev. G Athlon core. This basically means that it overall still resembles
the Brisbane series of processors, but with some heavy changes to the memory
controller and design changes which allows it to sip power and produce a
small amount of heat. The L625 processor runs at a decent 1.6 GHz and has a
TDP of 18 watts. This is well above that of Intel's dual core Atoms, which
are rated around 8 to 10 watts. But the performance from this out-of-order
Neo processor is far above that of the in-order dual core Atom 330."
