AMD is introducing its AM1 platform anchored around its socketed "Kabini" APU architecture. AM1 comes to life in the form of the quad-core Athlon and Sempron APUs.

 

AMD is targeting the low-cost, PC-like device sector in regions like Latin America, South East Asia and EMEA, at least to start. The tagline here is "everyday PC use at extremely low costs," and in an upgradable platform to boot.

 

What exactly those low costs are AMD isn't ready to reveal, but the APUs will start as low as $60 (about £36/AU$67). AMD is targeting April 9 for release.

Well, this may be perfect for me to convince a friend of mine to get into PC gaming.

Is it just me or is the quoted text illegible? Can you please change the color of the text OP.

Edit: It seems fine on mobile. I have a feeling it's illegible because I have the dark theme on my computer.

Are people doing this on purpose or is this how it quotes. Either way fix it... I hate highlighting posts just to read them.
