Somehow, it seems impossible that Turion can be gauged by the same standards as AMD's desktop parts. My thought is that Turion is using more of an application specific TDP

Turion 64 X2 and the top bin Athlon 64 X2 are on opposite ends of AMDs process tuning capability (for example they can vary gate lenght with 1nm accuracy). So the mobile chips have lower leakage, slower transistors than the high-end desktop parts.
