Talk:Turion 64 X2

Linked article with benchmarks was a poor choice. It's compared to a number of amd and intel chips. But never to the core, which is the most important comparison for this chip

1.2Ghz Turion X2
I'm seeing 1.2Ghz Turion X2s with 1MB L2 cache mentioned all over the net now. But they have yet to be added to this page yet?

Turion X2
Some models don't have the 64 in the name and start with letters like RM-##. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.58.152 (talk) 20:04, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

40%
"40% improvement over comparable 65 nm processes." What does this mean? --Gbleem 23:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Intel comparison
removed Core comparison. Leave that for review sites and tech tabloids to rehash

Core 2 Duo comparion - is it necessary?
I'm tempted to revert, claiming fanboy or WP:NOT#Soapbox. Alex 08:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you're talking about but looking at this revision which I presume is the revision you're talking about and it seems fine to me. It just mentions it competes with Core 2 Duo which is true & factual albeit unreferenced. It is important to the article since it provides context and further reading information to a reader unfamiliar with the subject matter. It doesn't mention anything about which one is better so I don't get where fanboy/soapboxing comes into this. It would be rather silly to not mention it competes with the Core 2 Duo, a bit like talking about HD DVD without mentioning Blu-ray Nil Einne 07:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The bit of drivel about the memory access being full-duplex due to HyperTransport being full-duplex is inaccurate. The integrated memory controller attaches directly to the RAM, with no HyperTransport link in between. DDR2 SDRAM technology is inherently half-duplex in behavior, which means memory access is still half-duplex. The only current way to have concurrent communication between a memory controller and DDR2 SDRAM technology is by buffering writes; for instance, the AMB found in FB-DIMMs allows for sustained writes of up to half the aggregate bandwidth concurrently with reads by buffering and scheduling writes. HyperTransport is only used for I/O to the MCP/IGP and I/O hub.
 * Not to mention that a comparison with Merom has no place in a list of specifications. Observ 18:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

TK-53 model???
Dell's 1501 Inspiron notebook now comes with an "Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Mobile Technology TK-53" processor (see http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/inspn_1501?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&~ck=FamCustom). That's clearly a Turion 64 X2 model number, and seems to indicate a different revision. But if you upgrade it, the upgrades are "Turion 64 X2 TL-56" and TL-60.

What is this "Athlon Dual Core Mobile"? Is this some OEM-only rebranding of the Turion 64 X2? I can't find any information on it anywhere... not even on AMD's site.

Does anyone own such a processor, and can provide the specs on it (cache, MHz, etc.)? M OXFYRE ( contrib ) 01:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
