AMD hopes to finally step from behind Intel’s shadow with the launch of its all-new mobile APU platform, codenamed Kaveri.Despite lagging behind its nemesis’s offerings in terms of manufacturing process and thermal design profile (TDP), Kaveri looks to be a strong contender against Intel’s mobile fourth-generation Core lineup—including some of Intel’s Core i7 parts. AMD is marking that achievement by slapping its enthusiast-oriented FX brand on the best of its new parts.Kaveri processors feature integrated graphics, just like Intel’s mainstream CPUs.
