AMD, which hasn’t penetrated the commercial space, is gonna try to pick up some share with a Business Class line of energy-efficient commercial desktops and notebooks targeted at SMBs, government and education.

The desktops are based on seven AMD “image stable” new triple-core and quad-core Phenom and dual-core Athlon chips good for the next two years; the laptops will use the company’s upcoming Puma platform, due in the second half.

HP, Dell, Fujitsu Siemens and Acer will be selling some of the desktops.

Resellers can use either AMD or non-AMD chipset and graphics in the desktops and AMD said the platform would be available to channel partners for 18 months.
