HP today unveiled its broadest selection and largest single introduction of
AMD-powered notebook PCs.
The company introduced 14 notebooks utilizing VISION and VISION Pro
Technology from AMD, giving consumers and businesses a wide range of mobile
products and a vivid visual experience at virtually every price and performance
level.
Consumers have a choice of VISION Technology across HP Pavilion notebooks,
including the dm and dv lines, as well as Compaq notebooks. Business customers
can tailor new HP ProBook s-series, HP ProBook b-series or HP or Compaq
notebooks with the VISION Pro Technology from AMD featuring AMD Phenom II, AMD
Turion II, AMD Athlon or AMD V-Series processors.
“Businesses and consumers can turn to HP not only for the deepest portfolio
of notebook products, but also for a wide range of technology choices to meet
specific mobile computing needs,” said Ted Clark, senior vice president and
general manager, Notebook Global Business Unit, Personal Systems Group, HP.
“HP’s commitment to providing customers a choice of technology helps us maintain
our position as the worldwide leader in notebook sales.”
HP customers get improved performance on popular applications with the
updated AMD multicore processors. For example, an HP notebook that employs a new
AMD Phenom II Dual-Core N620 processor offers up to 69 percent faster
performance than previous-generation HP AMD-powered notebooks and
gets up to 24 percent longer battery life.
This performance, coupled with long battery life and exceptional visual
performance, gives users hassle-free, efficient computing – all at a price that
makes sense.
“Our close relationship has evolved to today’s expansive consumer and
commercial product lineup, providing outstanding technology innovation and
performance competitiveness that ultimately benefits the customer,” said Chris
Cloran, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Division, AMD.
“VISION and VISION Pro Technology from AMD enables an exceptional visual
experience, great system performance and is designed to simplify the PC
purchasing experience.”
