XE300M22-A01US carries a 2.5GHz, Sandy Bridge-era dual-core chip on top of the usual 4GB of memory and 16GB solid-state drive.
This obviously spells opportunity for chip makers such as Intel and AMD, along with flash memory players like SanDisk.
The memory-chip maker has shrunk its debt and expects to make a decent profit this year, thanks to rising chip prices.
The Duron also includes a larger on-chip memory cache than the K6-2, and AMD's Enhanced 3DNow instructions, designed to boost multimedia performance.
Top candidates include its memory chip business, its Itanium server chips and several smaller businesses based around other categories of computer components for functions like storage and networking.
In 1984 he and Intel cofounder Gordon Moore decided to abandon the memory chip business that gave the company its start for what became a dizzyingly successful string of microprocessors.
The highly advanced chip will enable high-density memory solutions such as embedded NAND storage and solid state drives (SSDs).
It'd pack 2, 688 shader units, a 384-bit memory bus and 6GB of RAM, all with one chip -- for reference, the GTX 690 needs two GPUs to offer 3, 072 shader units and has 4GB of RAM.

It adds the digital display capabilities, the TV output encoder, a second RAMDAC, and a DDR memory interface to the features found in the G400 chip generation.
Mr. Lam said that could indicate a decision by Apple not to buy memory from Samsung, the world's biggest supplier of flash memory chips, amid continuing patent litigation between Apple and the chip maker's parent.
The multi-core war may have begun, but the battle will be fought with software, although that's not to say that the hardware side has already been won: apparently the test chip is much larger than equivalent chips -- 275 mm squared, versus a typical Core 2 Duo's 143 mm squared -- and Intel currently has no way to hook up memory to the chip.
We think that eReaders and tablet computers could drive the next phase of growth in for memory chip makers.
Tests now under way at Motorola and elsewhere suggest that a one-size-fits-all memory chip is emerging: MRAM (magnetic random access memory).
