The Register reports that AMD has let the cat... err... the Puma out of the bag. Apparently the Puma may start showing up in notebooks around June, and start to give Intel's Centrino a run for our money. The "Griffin" platform will apparently be based on the existing Turion dual core processor with 1MB of L2 per core along with a mobile version of the 780 chipset - RS780M - giving notebook DX10 support. Apparently the RS780M's built in GPU will support a form of Hybrid Crossfire, which will be welcome news to gamers satisified with previous generation games.

Digitimes reports that Intel is looking to take market share from Via and SiS with its upcoming Atom mobile processors, and Intel will also manufacture "Little Falls" and "Little Falls 2" highly integrated low cost motherboards for single and dual core Atom processors respectively. Apparently the dual core Atom may be called Diamondville-DC may be introduced at 1.87GHz with 512KB L2 cache and a 12W TDP in a "Ball Grid Array" package meant to be soldered to the motherboard. Leading motherboard manufacturers are also expected to introduce Diamondville boards.

(UPDATE: HKEPC has a shot of the "Little Falls" motherboard. I want several!)
