Advanced Micro Devices will release a new tablet chip code-named Mullins that draws about half as much power as its predecessor, the Temash chip, as the company struggles to compete with Intel. The Mullins chip will have two to four CPU cores code-named Puma and draw around two watts of power in certain usage scenarios. Variants of the chip, based on x86 architecture, will also be used in low-power laptops, AMD said. It will appear in tablets in the first half of next year.
