AMD Turion 64 x2 CPUs Based on 65nm Officially Announced

AMD today announced its new Turion 64 X2 processors, based on 65nm silicon-on-insulator technology. The new dual core 64-bit notebook CPUs, will replace the current 90nm Turions. Although AMD did not provide the details of new chips, the 65nm units should bring better performance and lower power consumption than 90nm processors.

According to earlier reports, the new AMD Turion 64 X2 lineup includes the TL-66 model running at 2.3GHz, which is the fastest Turion processor.

AMD says its 65nm dual core mobile CPUs are now shipping to computer manufacturers, while the notebook PCs based on the new chips will be available later this quarter in designs from leading computer manufacturers.
