Mobile Sempron 64-bit?
Now that the desktop Semprons have gone 64-bit when do we expect the
laptop ones will be too? Yousuf Khan |

Yousuf Khan Sometime in 1H 06 is my guess or when Intel catches up, but how many people that buy low-end even care/need 64-bit? They'll care when 64-bit is standard and Windows-64 is just emulating 32 bit stuff (sound familiar?). Pat Ed -- Intel Dothan vs AMD Turion http://www.laptoplogic.com/resources/articles/42/1/1/ |

The Sempron is going to be the ultimate cheap laptop -- once it gets 64-bit. It's power utilization is the same as a Turion MT (25W), and unlike Intel which turns off SpeedStep and other power features when going from Pentium-M to Celeron, AMD doesn't turn PowerNow off between Turion to Sempron. And once it's got the 64-bit, it's got a sufficient level of future proofing. I keep my computers a *long* time, and I want it to be cheap the day I buy it, so it doesn't matter as much when it's finally time to give it up. So what if it's got /only/ 256K of L2 cache? That was a power-user's dream not too long ago. Yousuf Khan |
