No X2s. AMD is now broke. Since they bought ATI. No new chips for another year.

What a ridiculous post.

Why is it ridicuulous?

What new chips have they had in the last year?

The Turion is a desktop Athlon ported to notebooks, and the Turion X2 is an Athlon X2 Dual Core ported for notebooks.

Where is the Turion X2 with a decent GPU? No where that I've seen that you can actually buy them.

Missed out on that they released an entirely new platform by any chance?
It's called AM2

Reply to asdasd123123

WHO CARES! AM2 is freaking DDR2... so what? Intel has had it for years... what was new? What's their new technology?

I just re-awoke from being shot with a tranquilizer gun when I was starting to turn green there earlier...

Sorry about that. :oops:

i think they withdrew and are thinkin up a new strat against intel...i foresee another quarter of Intel domination... no offense. AMD take their brain out of their a$$holes and start thinking =)

It would be really nice. Why doesn't AMD take a fresh look at it and steal what Intel is doing and improve on it if they can?

Reply to killernotebooks

No new X2s. We have to wait for X4s. Since that's when they launch Quad-core mid 07.

personally im sick of it all, AMD and Intel, there is no new tech coming out, sure we put multiple cores out, but theyre the same cores that have been out. PCI-E, just another interface, i could keep going but you all already know what im going to say. the fact is ATX isnt much different than AT was, which in my opinion means nothing new has come to computing sence what? '86? 88? hopefully with the purchase of ATI, AMD will be able to do something truly new. or scare intel into trying somthing new.

Ummmm, the Core Duo is completely different than the Pentium or Petium M Centrino. PCIe is much faster and scalable than EIDE - I know it is frustrating dealing with a constant state of flux and change, but it is for the better (in most cases) there is some total B.S. though that is just change for the sake of change.

To say computers haven't come a LONG duck dong way from 1988 is kind of silly. My freaking PDA could tap out a 8086 dos based 1988 desktop.

Look what NASA used to get to the moon. My little Laptop could do that all day long.

Hmmmmmmmmmm Maybe time to bring back the good ole Commadore.

1st of all centrino is not a proc, its a notebook tech. that soemthing new. it increased productivity without cables by increasing battery life and make wireless networking a breeze. 2nd the pentium m is pretty much the precursor to the new core proc. they took everything they learned from the pentium m (barias, dothan) and applied it. that new tech they we didnt have years ago. this shows you how far we have come.
