AMD mobile processors are slowly but surely capturing the mobile processor market for notebooks giving the market leader Intel a tough fight. AMD or Advanced Micro Devices already has Athlon 64 processors in the market. The AMD mobile processors are renowned for the excellent picture quality they bring in your notebooks.

With an Athlon 64 processor or any other AMD mobile processor, you can enjoy sharp picture, high digital clarity and fast downloads. All this and more with minimum energy usage as low as 35 watts!

However, AMD has been mostly successful with full size notebooks and has in fact poised to become the leader in it. But today individuals are looking for lighter and smaller notebooks and concentration on better performance. This would require a sophisticated power management system.

So AMD has come up with its latest in AMD mobile processors called as Turion 64. This has been designed just for that. AMD doesn’t believe in selling the processes in a single package. Rather, it only sells the mobile processors and leaves the assembly of chipsets and support chipsets to the local vendors who would give the best depending on cost and performance.

This is completely different from what Intel follows as it sells the whole set as a single unit thereby making it too expensive. This AMD Turion 64 will come matched with either 512KB or 1MB of L2 cache and single channel 64-bit DDR400 memory controller. For those AMD fans, this is great news. AMD has also disclosed that it is working on new and better mobile processors that would compete with the Intel’s Pentium.

The Turion processors have similar architecture as the Athlon 64 and also has additional features like integrated memory controller and 64-bit extensions to the x86 instruction set. Though AMD has not fully plugged the use of Intel in this area, the pace of its advancement definitely makes it a strong contender in ousting the current champion Intel!
