Nvidia and Broadcom joined AMD to showcase the 3D graphics, wireless, battery life, and compute performance advantages of next-generation AMD mobile platforms at an event held in San Francisco. Based on technologies from the AMD Better by Design program—including next-generation 65nm AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, chipsets from AMD and Nvidia, and wireless networking solutions from Broadcom—these mobile platforms deliver a superior Windows Vista experience for end-users. AMD's 65nm Silicon-on-Insulator technology provides increased transistor performance, scalability and power efficiency. AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology based on the 65nm process, now shipping, represents an important milestone as AMD continues its rapid conversion of Fab36. Included in this processor family is a new higher performing part, AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, TL-66. Laptops based on the new AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology will be available later this quarter in designs from leading computer manufacturers. AMD's Better by Design ecosystem includes ATI Radeon and Nvidia GeForce Go graphics and wireless solutions from Atheros, Broadcom, Marvell, Qualcomm and RealTek. Together with AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, the recently-launched AMD M690 platform with integrated ATI Radeon X1200 series graphics further advances the mobile computing experience. "We are delighted to work closely with AMD to offer users an excellent mobile experience featuring Nvidia graphics processors," said Ned Finkle, vice president of strategic marketing at Nvidia. "AMD-based systems with NVIDIA graphics deliver an outstanding Windows Vista experience and powerful digital media capabilities." Also at the event, Broadcom demonstrated its WLAN performance advantages delivered with the Better by Design program, including its latest 802.11n (draft) technology. To extend battery life, AMD-based platforms with AMD M690 incorporate innovative memory technology known as display cache, designed to allow the CPU to operate in low-power mode without accessing system memory. This platform-level innovation coupled with the new 65nm process design of AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology extends battery life to five hours. AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology models TL-56, TL-58, TL-60 and TL-62 are now shipping. Model TL-66 will begin shipping in late May. The AMD dual-core mobile processor family ranges from $154-$354 in 1,000 units. |
