- My old laptop was one of those early Non-M Pentium 4s (exactly same processor as a desktop) That thing ran HOT!!
ya know - I've always been an intel fan - but AMD is really pulling out all the stops now - and intel doesn't have anything to answer it. Too bad Microsoft is stalling on the 64bit version of windows. Intel pressure. -

- haha thats funny, exactly the opposite of me, i use to love AMD but im not very impressed with them lately and i built myself a P4 system (much better)

- Intel and Microsoft for some reason just couldn't design 64 processors/software. The big question is why?
Well actually mate even the 3.2 Ghz regular P4 can't keep up with Athlon64 3000+ (read : 3x00+

- im glad to see a 64 bit laptop cpu, im going to be in the market for a new lap top soon and will most likely get the 64 amd....wonder how long till the tops hit the shelfs at stores

- Yes, I believe that my next computer that I'm going to but is going to be a laptopwith an AMD-64M 3200+ (I like to have 600mhz clock/equivelent speed between each computer I buy, and since the 3200+ has a nice round 2.0ghz clock speed, I'll go for a 800mhz jump instead :cool

64-bit microprocessors for notebooks from AMD are available in three flavors depending on performance level in general and clock-speed in particular; these are models 2800+, 3000+ and 3200+ functioning at 1.60GHz, 1.80GHz and 2.0GHz respectively. The CPUs have 1MB of full-speed on-die L2 cache and single-channel DDR SDRAM memory controller, like the majority of other AMD Athlon 64 processors in 754-pin packaging. Even though AMD positions its new chips for the market of extremelly powerful notebooks, thermal design power of Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processors is 62W – really lot for mobile central processing units. Thanks to PowerNow! technology, the chips will consume significantly less electricity under typical load.
