AMD has a new processor

[blackstealth007]

I was looking at a computer ad when i noticed that it had a processor called the AMD Turion 64. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks already.

The Turion 64 is their new mobile CPU.

Its there version of Centrino (they may be calling the cpu a Turion as well) While it has an eye on power consumtion it isn't quite as anal as Intel. The CPUs used are 35W-50W Cpus which puts them at 15W-25W more then a Pentium M.

That's quite a ways off...

1. TDP isn't power usage...
2. Turion is a CPU, Centrino is a whole platform that uses the PentiumM CPU
3. Turion has a TDP of 25w or 35w depending on which model
4. The actual power use of a Turion is the same as a Pentium M

BTW...Turion is 64bit, Pentium M is 32 bit...
