AMD has officially announced the world wide release of the Turion 64 X2. The Turion 64 X2 will be seen with 4 different chips ranging from $184-$354 per chip “based on 1000 units”
The Turion 64 X2 debuts in four different versions – as TL-50 (1.6 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache)), TL-52 (1.6 GHz, 1 MB), TL-56 (1.8 GHz, 1MB) and TL-60 (2.0 GHz, 1 MB). The thermal design power (TDP) of the new Turions is on par with Intel: The X2’s are listed with a TDP of 31 watt (TL-50, TL-52) and 35 watts (TL-56, TL-60) which compares to 31 watts of Core Duo and 32 – 35 watts of the single-core Turion 64. However, AMD claims that the Turion 64 X2 can achieve a lower consumption level, since the chip is able to reach up to 69% more efficient “sleep states.”
