Re: So Turion is a failure, paper launch, just a desktop chip relabeled, that will never go anywhere, never touch Centrino, and at the same time it will take Intel's latest and greatest to stop the bleeding of the market share, or at best, recapture some of the market share lost to this non entity of a chip.
I don't think you should go that far, but we are comparing a dual core chip on 65nm designed from the ground up for low power, vs. a single core 90nm chip from AMD that achieves low power through mostly backend engineering. It's not hard to predict a winner here.
By the way, do you still believe that Centrino isn't pulling its weight?
Re: It is in the bottom 1/3rd of the market. All the changes that Intel does in top 1/3, 2nd 1/3 are completely irrelevant to Turion.
That would make Turion a Celeron competitor.
