Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has unveiled its answer to Intel's new tablet chip, just as Windows 8 devices are set to flood the market, Cnet has reported. AMD's Z-60 chip is being marketed as a chip for the "performance tablet" segment. The first tablets based on the new chip are expected to launch globally this year "in conjunction with availability of Windows 8," AMD said. The Z-60's two central processing unit (CPU) cores are rated at 1GHz, while boasting 80 Radeon graphics cores, with the graphics processing unit (GPU) rated at a speed of 275MHz. It can be squeezed into designs as thin as 10mm, the chipmaker said.
