AMD just made it official that their newest ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series that we’ve heard to rock the desktops until now will also be available on laptops. The news was expected and AMD (NYSE:AMD) mentioned that HD 3400 and HD 3600 models already support DirectX 10.1, for the first time. The new chipsets will include PCI Express 2.0 support and will offer 1080p HD DVD and Blu-ray movies quality.

The new Radeon HD 3000 series for laptops have a nice addition using AMD’s Avivo HD Technology to free up the CPU when it’s not needed to “process”. This will lead to better power efficiency for longer battery life.

The new HD 3000 series will be used by Asus right away, while other producers will bring their laptops on the market in the first half of 2008.
