active while the entire L2 cache on the Mobile Athlon64 has to be permanently powered. Thus the Mobile Athlon64 doesn't really have what it takes to be a top energy-saver among mobile processors. Yet its large L2 cache, and what AMD says is improved branch...

Built-in graphics processors like Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 will run Vista and even support the Aero Graphics GUI, though performance may be less than spectacular. You don't need a top of the line graphics processor to run Aero Graphics,...

hungry in a single quick glance. The Turion 64 or Mobile Sempron's so-called ordering part number, or OPN, is printed on the top surface of the package. AMD mobile processors are equipped with an Ordering Part Number (OPN), where SM stands for Sempron, and...

a DVD/CD RW optical drive, Windows XP Pro and a 15.4" display. Though the Radeon Xpress graphics processor isn't a top of class component, it's far better than the processors that usually come with Celeron chips. Dell Inspiron 6400 Dual Core Like...

the cases. After all, most users still believe that notebooks with AMD mobile processors still need more elaborate cooling systems. After "countless" screws are removed and the display screen, keyboard and top cover of the case are dismantled, the only thing...

the LV model's top thermal-loss rating is only 25 watts, which makes the processor an ideal thin and light candidate. Key data: 133 MHz FSB and Thoroughbred B core. A true mobile processor, the LV Athlon XP-M 1600+ uses AMD's power-saving technology Powernow...

MHz isn't a top scorer in CPU computing power. With its clock speed maxing out at 800 MHz, the CPU isn't going to be winning any competitions with modern mobile processors such as a Pentium 4 m or a mobile AMD Athlon XP. The memory interface of the 440MX chipset...

performance gains - but at a cost. Does the performance boost compensate for shorter battery life? Our THG benchmarks speak for themselves.. Grossly oversimplified, the functioning of the A.B.L.E. can be explained as follows: Similar to mobile processors,...
