AMD Turion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AMD has done little marketing on Mobile branding, unlike Intel massive marketing Centrino brand, but it had since compete their mobile CPU technology with Intel to gained more marketshare in this mobile segment.

[edit] Successive implementations
[edit] Initial platform (Pre-2005)
- Mobile Sempron single-core 32-bit processor, (code-named Dublin, Sonora or Roma) that uses Socket 754
- Turion 64 single-core 64-bit processor, (code-named Lancaster) that uses Socket 754
[edit] Kite platform (2006)
The Kite platform consists either:
- Mobile Sempron single-core 64-bit processor, (code-named Keene) that uses Socket S1
- Turion 64 single-core 64-bit processor, (code-named Richmond) that uses Socket S1
- Turion 64 X2 dual-core 64-bit processor, (code-named Taylor or Trinidad) that uses Socket S1
- Wireless IEEE 802.11 a/b/g mini-PCIe Wi-Fi adapter
- DVI support
[edit] Kite Refresh platform (2007)
AMD used Kite as the code name for the second-generation AMD mobile platform, introduced in January 2007. This move will set it up directly against the a new Centrino Santa Rosa platform for the Core 2 Duo "Merom" which also supports DDR2-800.
The Kite Refresh platform consists of:
- Second generation Turion 64 X2 dual-core 64-bit processor (code-named Hawk) that uses Socket S1, adding support for DDR2-800.
- Wireless IEEE 802.11 a/b/g with draft-N support, mini-PCIe Wi-Fi adapter
- Dynamic Graphics Power Switching - It will seamlessly switch between integrated & discrete graphics to maximise performance or low-power integrated graphics to extend battery life.
- Hybrid hard drives support
- HDMI support
- HyperTransport 1.0
- PCI Express 1.0
[edit] Puma platform (2008)
The Puma platform will support DirectX 10 consists of:
- Third generation Turion 64 X2 processor (code-named Griffin) that support DDR2-800, split-power planes, linked power management low voltage, HyperTransport 3.0.
- Wireless IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n mini-PCIe Wi-Fi adapter
- Dynamic Graphics Power Switching
- Hybrid hard drives support
- DisplayPort - Support for high-bandwidth and with low latency capabilities, replacement for HDMI.
- HyperTransport 3.0
- PCI Express 2.0
[edit] Future platform (2009)
- Upcoming generation AMD Fusion processor that support CPU-GPU multicore.
- Hybrid hard drives support
- DisplayPort
