AMD Launches Turion Mobile Processor

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the silly-chip-names dept.

justforaday writes "Earlier today, AMD launched their Turion mobile processor, which is based on the AMD64 architecture. This is set to compete directly with Intel's Centrino (Pentium-M) line of processors. Chips will initially be clocked between 1.6 and 2.0 GHz. Looks like we should be seeing some nice low-powered 64-bit notebooks in the near future."

    AMD's making the "(Cen)Turion" to compete with Intel's "Centrino?" God bless AMD, I love 'em, but man, they need a better marketing department...
