Details have been leaked out about AMD’s upcoming Hondo APU, the slated successor to their tablet oriented Desna APU.

The Hondo chipset will be targeted towards upcoming Windows 8 devices, and will feature dual 1 GHz cores and a Radeon 6250 graphics core running at 276 MHz. While this is not a substantial improvement over the existing Desna line, where Hondo will really differentiate itself is with its new Bobcat core (part of the Brazos T platform).

The Hondo APU will have a TDP of under 4.5W, which is in contrast to Desna’s 5.9W TDP. Hondo will also have approximately 2W of App power, and will be based on a 40nm process. This means AMD has “upped their game” in the land of tablet based chips.

Hondo is scheduled to be released in Q2 of 2012.
