AMD’s next-generation ultra-thin platform is said to launching within a few weeks, according to a report by Digitimes.

Congo is the firm’s newest platform designed to fill the $599-$1499 bracket with so-called Ultra Thins that handily exceed Netbook performance with similar dimensions. The new platform combines a refreshed Athlon Neo MV-40 CPU with the M780G chipset for HD-capable graphics and the possibility of Hybrid CrossFireX.

AMD's perspective on the Ultra Thin's market position.

Congo is designed to succeed the Yukon platform which powers products like Hewlett-Packard dv2 Ultra Thin.

Value ultra thin platforms by the numbers.
