Mobile X2's

[BlindBartimaeus]

Since I now see mobile Semprons on shentech.com in the 754 flavor and supposedly there will be a laptop X2.

WOOT...In a few months...I will be getting a 754 X2

What do you guys think?

I highly doubt it. AMD is supposed to be introducing a new mobile socket soon, presumably for dual core Turions that will use a dual channel memory interface.

No...stop raining on my parade...Don't bother me with facts! argh...where did you hear the dual channel information. That would definitely indicate 939.

Well, s754 is Single Channel DDR. Although the X2 doesn't get hurt to bad with sharing the Dual Channels of Memory bandwidth, I would be ALMOST CERTAIN that is will NOT like having to share the bandwidth of a SINGLE channel. So, it would definitely NOT be a good idea for AMD to release a dual core cpu sharing a single channel of memory bandwidth between the 2x cpu cores.

anything suspicous about the site name?

Dual core mobile? isn't that on M2 platform?

Supposedly it will be S1. I'm a bit skeptical about the Dual-channel DDR2 bit on anandtech's roadmap (S1 is only 638 pins), though I suppose even a single DDR2 667 channel would be decent--after all most Turion notebooks use DDR 333 SO-DIMMs anyway.

AMD is introducing a new mobile platform for dual core Turion 64, supposedly around when Intel is releasing the dual core Pentium M (Yonah).

BTW, the X2's that you seen in laptops (like those from Rock Direct) are S939 chips. S939 laptops have been around for a while - just with a single channel memory controller. Don't ask me how or why, but it happened. Check out the HP A64 notebooks: they have S939 clocked chips, they show up as S939 under CPU-Z, have PCI-E, everything except the dual channel mem controller.

Regardless, you will not find a S754 X2.

Also you can pretty much rule out any bios support from older sckt 754 desktop mobos...You will be like NF3U mobos and have them boot but no recognition of second core....Plus volatge recognition could be real iffy...

Dual-core Turion64 won't be S754.
