What is an AMD TurionX2 dual core processor?
AMD is the acronym for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and was founded May 1, 1969 and is the second-largest global supplier of microprocessors after Intel Corporation. (There it is, AMD is not a new player, it is almost 40years old). The TurionX2 is AMDs Dual Core mobile processor and the RM-72 in this unit is a dual-core that runs at 2.1 GHz with 512 KB L2 cache per core([/i]1mb combined[/i]). The RM72 is made using the 65nm process technology and utilizes the so-called ‘split power plane design’, which allows independent voltage planes for processor and memory controller for greater control over performance based on system demands. By making it possible to reduce the voltage of the components, the whole system is able to provide longer batter life. Based on our experience being in front of laptops everyday, the TurionX2 is at par with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core processors found in most entry level laptops, but slower than its Intel Core2 Duo on higher end model. At this stage, we must
