Intel Atom is so yesteryear! Smartphones are going dual-core with 1080p 30fps playback capability, yet packed with such small package in smartphones that it totally shamed Intel’s once-popular x86 processor. Now the netbook age is taking on an even greater essence in the form of AMD’s latest Fusion technology.

Acer has just launched their new the Aspire One 722, an 11-inch mini with an aesthetic and modern curve. Like the D257 shown in Barcelona, its lid is made of molded plastic, sculpted to resemble a series of ripples.

Spec-wise, it has the same innards as the more staid-looking Aspire One 522, pairing AMD’s netbook-class 1GHz C-50 Ontario processor with Radeon HD 6250 graphics. But the 722 improves on the 10-inch 522 with higher 1366 x 768 resolution, two speakers instead of one, and rated battery life of up to seven hours — a boost over the 522′s six-hour max.

No price and availability announcement just yet, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be very soon.
