A little late in the game or not, AMD recently said it wanted to focus more attention on the netbook market rather than jump into tablets. Helping AMD do that is Asus, which plans on releasing an AMD-based Eee PC later this year.
It's called the Eee PC 1015T, and according to the spec sheet on display at Computex, the upcoming netbook comes configured with an AMD V105 processor inside. The 10.1-inch netbook also sports an ATI Radeon HD 4200 series GPU, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, 250GB/300GB hard drive with 500GB of cloud storage (Asus WebStorage), 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, optional Bluetooth 3.0, 6-cell battery, and Windows 7 along with the pre-boot Express Gate OS.
Otherwise, the Eee PC 1015T retains the familiar Seashell design as previous Eee PC netbooks along with a glossy finish. No word on when or where Asus plans to bring this one to market, or for how much.

The V105 is part of AMD's Nile lineup. It's a single-core chip clocked at 1.2GHz with 512KB of L2 cache and a 9W power draw.
