Arima and AMD Turion64 Technology?

[mdahc]

Apparently, Arima already has a notebook using the new Radeon Xpress 200M chipset with AMD Turion64 technology. It's nice to think that some notebook manufacturer's actually might not leave AMD64 out of the mobile PCIe market, not to mention that 35W thermal output and 4.5hr target battery life look sweet.

Sweet, but I still want detailed specs on Turion

 

[mdahc]

Me, too.

Any new info as to whether the Arima W622 will be available in the states?

I think the Acer Aspire 5020 (scroll towards the bottom) uses the Arima W622 (at least the specs are identical, not to mention that the notebooks themselves look similar). If not, the Aspire 5020 should satisfy you since the hardware is the same and since most Acer notebooks usually find their way to the U.S.

Arima is an ODM supplying base models to companies like Acer. Check out the Turion thread here and follow the link in it; has all the Turion info you could want

Thanks for the news helper. I think most people on this forum know about ODM's by now.

It is kind of hard to take a new processor line and have a comparison when there are not working systems to compare it to. There is some criticism that the AMD Benchmarks are fudged up a bit, to make it appear faster than it is.
