Re: Turion review

Did you see this?

The Turion 64 isn't so much an answer to the Centrino solution as it is an answer to Intel's Pentium M processor. Not a completely new architecture, the Turion is basically a rebranded Mobile Athlon 64. Whereas Centrino is actually a three-part all-Intel solution (processor, chipset, and wireless), the Turion name refers strictly to AMD's processor.

I remember getting shot down when I last suggested this here. But I guess the press picked up on it easily enough. ;-)
