The Turion X2 processors will be launched in early May 2006, The Inquirer reported. So, what’s so great about Turion64 X2, you might ask. Well, Turion64 X2 is the upcoming AMD’s dual core Turion64 mobile processor, which has two separate core in one mobile processor die.
As reported, there will be 2 groups of new Turion X2 processors :-
- 1.6GHz, 1.8GHz and 2.0GHz models (with 2x 512KB L2 caches)
- 1.6GHz low-end model (with 2x 256KB L2 caches)
I have written a short introduction to Turion processor some time back.
Currently there are 2 series of single core Turion64 in the market, which are ML series and MT series. Both series require 35W and 25W power respectively to preform within nominal specifications. The new Turion64 X2 will operate on 1.075 volts, pretty low to further enhance the battery life.
According to The Inquirer, the shortcoming of Turion64 X2 is both cores are not independently powered or clocked. It’s believed that the battery life will be somehow affected.
Really can’t wait to see benchmarking made using Turion64 X2 and compare with Intel’s Yonah mobile processor.
