AMD on Thursday announced its ‘Tigris' laptop platform, intended for mainstream applications and offering full 1080p, DirectX 10.1 support and offloading video encoding to the Radeon HD 4200 GPU.

With new 45nm dual-core Caspian processors (speeds up to 2.6GHz), AMD manages a 42 percent improvement in multimedia performance the company says. The platform offers 25 percent longer battery life, which amounts to just an hour and 55 minutes of “active use” and just under five hours in idle, according to AMD.
