Perfect. One of the first (if not the first) AMD-base ultrathin is on the starting blocks, and it’s built inside the same casing as the Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook that is also getting the Ivy Bridge upgrade. This is the perfect opportunity to get side-by-side testing done. How does the Samsung Series 5 NP530 perform against the $100 cheaper Samsung NP535? We can’t answer that question now but it won’t take long to get some figures an feedback.

John Taylor, Director of Global Product Marketing at AMD, just published an official post over at the AMD blog entitled: ‘Does an Ultrabook™ by any other name smell as sweet?‘ In it, Taylor takes issue with Intel’s Ultrabook campaign and wishes that Intel would let OEMs alone to make their own decisions.
First AMD – based ‘Ultrathin’ Could be Available in Jan 2012. Brazos 2.0?

The popular Lenovo S205. An 11.6” lightweight notebook with AMD Fusion. A thinner, more powerful version of this with SSD and a $500 price could raise eyebrows!
AMD could be getting ready to show its first Ultrathin as early as January, a report from The Australian says today.
AMD have told the publication that they had held discussions with a number of manufacturers about Ultrathins and one of them was “particularly advanced.”
Interestingly, AMD aren’t giving any specifications out.
