The advanced feature set of AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology also includes: Multi-core Power Management, enabling reduced power consumption for extended battery life; AMD Digital Media Xpress for accelerated image processing, audio and video encoding and decoding, 3D graphic rendering; and AMD Virtualization, providing improved performance, reliability, and security for virtualized environments.

Systems are initially expected from Acer, ASUS, BenQ, Flocity, FSC, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP, MSI, NEC, Packard Bell, Sotec and TongFang.

These reference designs are an example of best practices in notebook PC development based on AMD and collaborative technologies.

The reference designs help ensure AMD customers get to market more quickly, and also help reduce platform development costs.

AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology is the only mobile processor today that is optimized for the 64-bit versions of the upcoming Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.

AMD has worked closely with Microsoft to identify and develop key hardware components in support of Microsoft Windows Vista, the next generation Windows operating system.

In addition to high-end multimedia, premium gaming and secure commercial notebooks, AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile technology is an excellent choice for a mobile workstation-class platforms which allow customers to get high performance from their 32- and 64-bit workstation applications.

In support of the design of Windows Vista, it is crucial to choose processors that will provide an optimal experience for the various ways in which notebooks are used, said Mika Krammer, director, Windows Client Mobility Group.

The new and powerful AMD Turion 64 dual-core mobile technology is an excellent choice for Windows Vista.
