(I think we already agreed Bobcat merely refers to the x86 core architecture, not a particular product nor the product family, yes?)
An 18W APU "Zacate" for Notebooks and Desktops?.. That's Llano's territory. Whats going on?
I'd be pretty impressed if Ontario and Zacate differ by more than clock speed. My guess is Ontario is low to mid 1GHz while Zacate is 2GHz+ on the cpu front with a corresponding boost to the GPU clock.
I really hope a manufacturer launches a bobcat system before Christmas.
The speaker at Hot Chips made that pretty clear.
edit: Jeez, you can't see anything at all in that die photo.

I am not sure if this is a Legit pic of ontario, well the article says so. Oh, that's a euro coin by the way(Diameter = 23.25mm).

Isn't the "die" the shiny silver part on the "package"? If so, then I could see the chip pictured being approximately 8mm x 9mm.
(Someone correct me if I am using these terms "die" and "package" incorrectly).
Yes, CULV market segment, not to mention it gives them something new to sell while waiting for Llano and BD to ship.
Edit: Just want to add a comment on 80SPs shown in the die shot. Does this basically mean a DX11 version of the current integrated Radeon graphics, Radeon 5200 so to speak? How does this compare to PowerVR and i3 HD graphics?
OEMs will just ignore that and ship the souped up "netbooks" with windows home instead of starter.
