AMD introduced two new low-power mobile processors designed to
offer outstanding computing performance and true mobility for
thin and light notebooks. The new low-power mobile AMD Athlon 64
processor models 2800+ and 2700+ further expand the award-winning
AMD Athlon 64 processor family, offering a powerful 32-bit
computing experience today with a seamless transition to 64-bit
applications. These processors also offer an Enhanced Virus
Protection security feature, to be enabled by the upcoming
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Like all the existing AMD mobile processors, these new low-power
offerings enable an outstanding computing experience on the go
with extended system battery life enabled by AMD PowerNow!
technology, as well as the benefit of wireless compatibility with
today's most popular wireless solutions.

Global PC vendor Acer Inc. is among the first suppliers to
support the use of low-power mobile AMD Athlon 64 processors in a
new Ferrari brand thin and light notebook for consumers and
business customers worldwide.

Likewise, Chinese manufacturer Amoi Electronics Company Ltd. is
incorporating the low-power mobile AMD Athlon 64 processor in a
notebook.

Thin and light notebooks will be available from Acer in May,
while Amoi expects to offer the new Va series notebooks during
the second half of this year.

The new low-power mobile AMD Athlon 64 processor models 2800+ and
2700+ are available immediately worldwide for thin and light
mobile PCs.
