According to the latest chatter emanating from the major notebook players, AMD is planning to finally launch its Congo platform for ultra-thin notebooks by the end of the month, or beginning of November at the latest. AMD had originally intended to go forward with Congo in July, but ended up postponing the launch citing lower than expected demand for ultra-thins.

AMD's Congo platform will consist of a dual-core Turion Neo X2 L625 or Athlon Neo X2 L335/L325, or a single core Athlon Neo MV-40 processor plopped into an M780G chipset, DigiTimes reports.

The chip maker has yet to announce the platform, but rest assured, it's coming. HP, for example, launched a 12.1 inch ultra-think notebook in Taiwan built around the Athlon Neo MV-40 processor, the same one that will be used in Congo, but with a different chipset.

The sources also added that AMD will launch a couple more ultra-thin platforms over the next two years: Nile and Brazos.
