AMD has launched their new Congo platform of CPUs, which is their answer to Intel's ULV CPUs. The AMD Congo platform will feature ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics and will be able to stream 1080p video effortlessly. The AMD Turion Neo X2 clocks in at 1.6GHz and these new CPUs will reportedly increase battery life by over an hour compared to their older models. "AMD claims that Congo's 3D graphics performance is about 77 percent faster than Intel's, and that raw procecssor power speed makes it about 43 percent faster than an equivalent CULV chip in encoding video."

Systems based on Congo are already shipping from Acer and ASUS, though AMD plans to be much more aggressive in pushing the platform and expects 20 systems to ship on or before the launch of Windows 7.
