Looks like Intel may get some real competition for their market dominating Intel Atom netbook processors. AMD is finally going to accept netbooks and make a dedicated chip specifically for netbook, in their “Fusion” range of chips, which will be released sometime next year in 2011.

This new netbook based chip is said to have a power consumption in the 10-15 watt range (the current AMD chips draw about 35 watts) and have integrated graphics good enough to prompt them to say “you won’t need the Ion graphics to give it half-decent performance”. It will be aimed at netbook / notebooks between 10” – 12” in size.
