AMD is focussing on portable devices with its latest lines of processors announced this week.

The K6-3 and K6-2 processor families will be enhanced to speeds of up to 500MHz and the chip company's first customer is Hewlett-Packard who has already signed up the 475MHz Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor for its Pavillion N3215 Notebook PC.

The K6-3+ processor is targeted at high performance notebooks, with clock speeds of 500, 475 and 450 MHz. It has Level 2 cache and supports AMD's PowerNow technology that it claims extends battery life. The K6-2+ has a similar spec but is targeted at the lower end notebook PC's.

Intel is expected to announce a range of processors targeting the notebook PC market next week.
