TheAMD mobile platform is an open platform forlaptops fromAMD. Though little marketing was done on this platform, it has been competing with theCentrino platform in the segment to gain more marketshare. Each platform has its own specification, catching up the latest technology developments. Since the acquisition of ATI, AMD began to include Mobility Radeon GPUs and AMD chipsets as part of the requirements of the mobile platform; the first of such platforms is thePuma platform.

In February 2007, AMD had announced the "Better by Design" initiative to continue the success of the open platform approach^[1] for desktop back in early 2003 after the launch ofAthlon 64 processors with a lack of chipset being developed by AMD, and open the platform to chipset vendors such asVIA,SiS,NVIDIA and from AMD subsidiaryATI. The initiative also includes platforms succeeding theKite Refresh mobile platform.

Under the "Better by Design" initiative, AMD introduced a three-cell arrow sticker to identify mobile platform products, which the top cell being the processor (asTurion 64 X2). The middle cell for graphics accelerators as NVIDIA or ATI (as a result of retaining the use of "ATI Radeon" branding for graphics^[2]), including onboard graphics (IGP), while the last cell representing the wireless (Wi-Fi,IEEE 802.11 standard) or LAN solutions, provided by one of the following companies:Airgo,Atheros,Broadcom,Marvell,Qualcomm, andRealtek.

The stickers to be used will be further classified by the system performance according to the processor performance, and into five classes, each having different colours as well as different logos for each component, listed as follows:

According to AMD figures in December 2007, AMD mobile platform gained 19% unit share in the market and about 23% revenue share of the firm during Q3 2007 while competing with theIntelCentrino platform. Figures for Q1 and Q2 2007 are 15% and 17% unit share, accounting for 14% and 16% of the company's revenue respectively.^[4]

AMD's mobile platform, even as recent as the Turion 64 X2 platform, has been criticized as consistently performing worse than Intel's Centrino in all areas: system speed, heat dissipation, and battery life.^[5]

The AMD low-power platform introduced on January 4, 2011, is designed for HDnetbooks and other emerging form factors.^[11] It features the 40 nm C-Series (formerly codenamed Ontario, a 9-watt APU for netbooks and small form factor desktops and devices) and E-Series (formerly codenamed Zacate, an 18-watt TDP APU for ultrathin, mainstream, and value notebooks as well as desktops and all-in-ones)APUs.^[12]Both low-power APU versions feature twoBobcat x86 cores and fully supportDirectX11,DirectCompute (Microsoft programming interface for GPU computing) andOpenCL (cross-platform programming interface standard formulti-core x86 and accelerated GPU computing). Both also includeUVD 3 dedicated hardware acceleration for HD video including 1080p resolutions. This platform consists of:
