Based on superior technologies from the AMD Better by Design program - including next-generation 65nm AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology, chipsets from AMD and NVIDIA, and leading wireless networking solutions from Broadcom - these mobile platforms deliver a superior Windows Vista experience for end-users.ĪMD's award-winning 65nm Silicon-on-Insulator technology provides increased transistor performance, scalability and power efficiency. NVIDIA and Broadcom joined AMD (NYSE: AMD) to showcase the 3D graphics, wireless, battery life, and compute performance advantages of next-generation AMD mobile platforms at an event held in San Francisco today. NVIDIA and Broadcom join AMD to showcase platform performance advantages in 3D graphics, Wireless Range and Throughput, and Battery Life So it seems AMD is not able to deliver competitive mobile graphics solutions throughout the whole portfolio from low to highest end and still cooperates with NVIDIA in order to do that. What really is particularly interesting about this press release is that AMD invited NVIDIA to showcase their mobile graphics products for AMD-based systems.

While the Turion 64 X2s are shipping already, notebook PCs based on it will be available later this quarter. Display Cache is designed to allow the CPU to operate in low-power mode without accessing system memory but still delivering decent performance. Together with AMD's M690 mobile computing platform with an integrated ATI Radeon X1200 graphics processor a battery life of up to five hours is possible, mostly due to an innovative memory technology known as display cache. These particular chips are manufactured with AMD's 65nm Silicon-on-Insulator technology in their Fab 36 in Dresden, Germany. AMD yesterday showcased the new Turion 64 X2 dual-core processors at an event in San Francisco.
