I still don't think AMD can beat Intel in the mobile processor market. But hopefully this will leads to cheaper Laptops in near future.
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
Link.
I've been a fan of AMD CPU ever since I built my first computer from parts. AMD Athlons were the safest bet over Pentium in performance per dollar until Intel released their new CPU. However, every benchmarks from last years, Intel's been outperformed AMD. Now even more bad news from eetimes:
In addition, AMD lost approximately $883 million in free cash flow in the quarter, worse than expected, and putting the company within two quarters of running out of cash.
Since AMD slashed their Athlons X2 processors, maybe I should upgrade my AMD processor to boost my favorite company.
