Local AMD distributor, Sahara Computers, has released the Athlon XP 2000+ and 1900+ mobile AMD processors. Featuring AMD PowerNow! technology, the new AMD mobile processors offer a genuine mobile solution which can significantly extend battery life to enable anytime, anywhere productivity.
"AMD is focused on providing its notebook customers with exceptional mobile PC technology, ensuring that they experience high performance processing power from this rapidly growing mobile market," comments Ross Jardien, sales manager at Sahara Computers.

This mobile processor with QuantiSpeed architecture and 3DNow! Professional technology, combined with DDR memory, delivers extra performance to run software applications such as video and image editing, DVD playback and complex number-crunching.
Offering compelling performance and exceptional reliability, mobile AMD Athlon XP processors continue to gain momentum worldwide as they are incorporated into commercial product portfolios, including the successful introduction of the Compaq Evo N115 notebook PC and the Fujitsu LifeBook A Series earlier this year.
