AMD Reveals Ultrathin Prototype, Roadmaps

Thursday during AMD's Financial Analysis Day, Engadget spotted an "ultrathin" ODM reference unit from Compal featuring AMD's upcoming Trinity APU. The chip was believed to be one of the lower variants -- either 17W or 25W -- housed within an 18-mm form factor. This particular model was reportedly one of many prototypes currently being shopped around to OEMs.

According to the site, the prototype featured plenty of connectivity onboard including two USB 3.0 ports, mini-DisplayPort and HDMI mounted on the left, and audio jacks, another USB port, Ethernet and power mounted along the right. AMD is looking to sell the final product at half the price of Intel's ultrabook form factor, ranging from $500 to $600 USD.
