Volgens een recente AMD roadmap die The Register onder ogen kreeg, wordt de mobiel AMD Corvette processor voorzien van de stroombesparende PowerNow! II anti-turbo. PowerNow! II kan niet alleen de kloksnelheid verlagen, maar ook pipelines uitzetten in situaties waarbij de volledige processor snelheid niet vereist is:
The second generation of PowerNow, formerly codenamed Gemini, will allow software control of CPU pipelines, with an expected maximum power of less than six watts when the Corvette mobile chips are released.
In battery saver mode, according to the roadmap, we will see a minimum frequency of 300MHz and PowerNow II will also allow maximum battery run time, as well as automatic mode.
[...] AMD has prepared the "Thresher" mobile evaluation platform which uses Socket 462, Twinlight Northbridge and ALi's 1535 mobile Southbridge, with a 4x AGP slot, two PCI slots and a Phoenix BIOS. Thresher will fall into AMD's customers' mitts this quarter.
