It's quite a marvel really, AMD is coming out of nowhere with a fraction of the revenue of their competitors. Gotta love the scrappy underdog that never quits! Hats off AMD.

In the tablet arena, the company is attempting to bridge the glaring gap between chips that have been essentially taken from smartphones, and chipsets that were designed primarily for notebook computers. This is where Temash fits in, as a low-power processor that is claimed to be the highest-performance tablet SoC on the market. Doubling the graphics performance over its predecessor, Temash appears to be well suited to Windows 8 tablets used for gaming, entertainment or productivity tasks.
We took a look at an 11.6-inch prototype tablet powered by a Temash chip, and the hardware is certainly promising. As 1920x1080 becomes the industry standard for tablet displays, and applications demand more power, AMD's graphics heritage could give the company an edge as it works to gain traction in the tablet market.
Intel and ARM chips currently power most Windows 8 tablets, however many of the Intel-based devices have difficulty driving games and other graphics-intensive content without dropping the frame(s)
