LAUNCH OF AMD TURION 64 X2 CPUs MAY START PRICE WAR

The only way Intel can compete is to slash prices on their CPU's, but it doesn't matter, you pay for what you get, and paying more for an AMD that performs better is well worth it.

Get a new keyboard.

Get new material.

That's the bad thing about whores, they screw up in everything.
So, how was your "ride" on that b!tch??
That slut is a hottie.

P.S: Hey Action, tell your mom to send my keyboard also. 8)

Wow man, you broke nearly 5 rules in the ToS in 1 post, that's got to be a record...oh wait...in the 3 posts dedicated to flaming me, I think somebody broke about 30, dang, close though!

It will be interesting to see how Turion X2 benches against Yohna, some preliminary numbers (site is in german):
Turion X2 Bench, German

After translating that site, the score for the 2.0GHz Turion is calculated according to the *, and there is still plenty of time to refine the Turion.

CompGeek,
Intel quality, that was......
the quality of the mobile computer is 95% everything else and 5% the CPU.
There are good(or bad, ass you wish) mobile processors from both Intel and AMD. I can say Dothan and Yonah are better than Turion64, while Turion64 is better than Pentium4. You will buy suitable notebook acording to your budget, not to your fanboyisam.
I have 2 HP notebooks, one of them is with Turion64, other with PentiumM, the PentiumM system is faster but more expencive.

i second that motion!

Sounds like you should take your own advice.

This should be interesting. I'm looking at getting a new laptop next year, so I'll have to watch this closely.

Like some of the shops said in other threads, you get kicked in the nutts because you loose money fixing these turion. Costco said that they are getting those turion returns because of heat, short battery life and they break. Yes, costco is also getting kicked in the nutts!

You get what you pay for. Doesnt matter that you have a Turion when you buy a cheap a$$ laptop from emachines. Does anyone check reviews before they go plunk down money on a notebook.

Really, you don't have any solid evidence to reassure me with by any chance?

In any case, price wars are good for everybody, except maybe the company's profit margins.

You live in a dream world full of AMD fanboy! I give you a 'BI' for Blinded Idiot!

Very True!

And the new keyboard shtick is fresh?

Yeah SURE.
A Poorion at 2 Ghz won't beat a Core Duo. Same goes for single core( and we have benchies to that).
Poorion single was bad enough, poorion dual will bring lot of laughter.

Anyway, seriously, the only proof there contradicts you theory. Keep dreaming AMDroid.

Hmm....an F for effort, sorry.

Actually, I'm not comparing current Intel to next-gen AMD, because Core Duo IS part of the next-gen, and Turion X2 is also next-gen. The Core-Duo is not as powerful as everybody thinks and according to benchmarks, it isn't either. Not sure why you think I'm part of nVidia, a name doesn't mean jack other than a sequential amount of letters in a specific order, if I worked for nVidia, I wouldn't be on these forums, I'd be working.

@Comp

Obviously you're an idiot, and that goes without saying...but I had to say it anyways =/. The Turion X2's TDP is below Merom, 25w vs. 35w, and an LV or ULV version means Less Power but also LESS PERFORMANCE, derrrr, a Turion X2 LV and ULV could EASILY match 5w for the ULV of Merom, and the performance of Turion X2's w/o a Memory Bug and proper DDR2, means Turion X2's could be just as good as Merom, if not better. Add in the price, and a Turion X2 looks to beat a Merom in Price/Performance/Power, hmm...

LOL @ U! Every word you said was wrong, lol, you shouldn't even try at all, you make yourself more of an @$$ with every word you type, lol.

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

MadModMike vs. Ycon

Steel cage death match.... place your bets peeps!

Uhm...that's not me....

~~Mad Mod Mike, pimpin' the world 1 rig at a time

whatever you say and if you say who you are, couldn't nVidia sue you for using their fictional character?

Then I guess Action Man would get sued next for using Lee Majors action figure as his avatar with one eye poked out.

oh when will the insanity end.... Sunday!, Sunday!, Sunday!


mmmmmwhahahahahaha

dont just say ycon is wrong, do what u tell everyone else to do, prove it.

A whole lot of arguing and bickering going on here...

The simple fact is that when AMD and Intel have price wars in any market, the consumer is the one who benifits. Company A releases a CPU which out-performs it's competitor's and for less money. Company B responds by lowering the cost of their respective CPU... On and on it goes.

Look at the laptops being offered from any of the major brands in the $500 - $700 price range. The performance you get out of these things absolutely destroys similarly priced laptops from only a year ago (heck, maybe even 6 months ago).

Competition is good for the economy, it's good for the companies, and it's good for the consumer.

I'm especially interested to see what they can do with the 5w ULV CPUs coming out in the near future. Less TDP means less fans are needed (maybe even passive cooling?), so the battery is saved not only from the CPU end. My current HP notebook needs to be recharged after a 2 hour class (when all I'm doing is running Wordpad to take down notes)... If I could get something that could last me nearly the whole day...
