AMD Turion™ 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology is the most advanced family of dual-core processors made for mobility — uniquely optimized to deliver better multi-tasking performance in embedded systems. It is ideal for telecom applications, storage appliances, single board computer/blade, and networking appliances.

The AMD Turion 64 series is packaged in a small-footprint, socket S1 compatible, lidless 638-pin micro PGA (socket S1). This enables small form factor and rugged designs to be created with optimal thermal dissipation utilizing a socket suitable for up to 50G shock and 7G vibration. For this reason, AMD Turion 64 X2 is well suited for designs in the gaming, medical, transportation, industrial control, communications, and retail markets.

AMD Turion 64 mobile technology offers the following advantages:

• AMD PowerNow!™ technology, the first dynamic power management technology in the industry, delivers performance on demand and can reduce the TDP of the already low power AMD Turion 64 X2 by up to 73%. Thermal design power as low as 9.4W
• AMD’s innovative Direct Connect Architecture for leading-edge dual-core performance by providing separate, dedicated high-speed links between processor and memory, processor and I/O, and I/O to memory to enable predictability in real time applications
• HyperTransport™ technology boosts overall system performance through a dedicated high-speed, low-latency I/O interface
• Socket and electrically compatible with the single-core Mobile AMD Sempron™ processor to enable single- or dual-core solutions with the same platform providing a unique scalable power and performance solution
• AMD Digital Media XPress™ technology delivers a rich experience on today’s multimedia-enhanced software, taking 3D and graphics to new levels for medical imaging, gaming, kiosk, and point of sale applications
• Simultaneous 32- and 64-bit performance, designed to be compatible with the next generation 64-bit Windows® operating system, Microsoft® Windows Vista®
• Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP)* to increase the reliability of your network-connected applications

* Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) is only enabled by certain operating systems, including the current versions of Microsoft® Windows®, Solaris, and BSD Unix. After properly installing the appropriate operating system, users must enable the protection of their applications and associated files from buffer overrun attacks. Contact your application software vendor for information regarding use of the application in conjunction with EVP. AMD strongly recommends that users continue to use third party anti-virus software as part of their security strategy.
