Nu ser det ud til at der sker noget hos AMD.

AMD har netop præsenteret deres nyeste mobile platform: Yamato
Den kommer til at indeholde en dual core Turion64 CPU til socket S1.

Den spændende i HTPC sammenhæng er om vi kommer til at se nogle desktop motherboards til disse CPU'er, da deres performance sammenlignet med effektforbrug vil passe fint til en HTPC.

I artiklen ho X-bit Labs skriver de fx:
According to the publication, the demonstrated Yamato platform could decode H.264 video with 1920x816 resolutions along with WMV9 (1280x720) and the MPEG-2 (720x480) simultaneously without problems, which should be no surprise as the processor has two cores and the GeForce graphics chip can also decode both WMV9 and MPEG-2. The CPU usage, according to Windows Task manager, was about 50%.
