“AMD’s new 1.6GHz Zacate E350 chip is the first low power chip

(Accelerated Processing Unit) from AMD, which is a fancy way of
saying it’s part of the AMD Fusion line of products which put the
CPU and graphics onto a single chip. We already knew that Zacate
chips would provide more processing power and significantly better
graphics performance than Intel’s Atom chips… now we have a
better idea of just how much more.
