AMD Debuts Turion 64 Mobile Technology

ASUS, Averatec, BenQ, MSI and Packard Bell are among the leading, global computer manufacturers who have indicated they will support AMD Turion 64 mobile technology.

Availability

AMD Turion 64 mobile technology models ML-37, ML-34, ML-32, ML-30, MT-34, MT-32, and MT-30 are available immediately worldwide.

In order to help consumers and business professionals simplify their notebook purchasing decisions, AMD Turion 64 mobile technology uses a new series of model numbers designed to provide a simple designation of both relative performance and degree of mobility within the processor family. The two letters of this model number indicate processor class, with the second letter designating increasing degree of mobility, as measured by power consumption.(a) As the second letter approaches the end of the alphabet, “higher” letters indicate greater mobility. The numbers indicate relative performance within the processor class. Higher numbers indicate higher relative performance among the AMD Turion 64 mobile technology family.

Pricing

AMD Turion 64 mobile technology models ML-37, ML-34, ML-32, ML-30, MT-34, MT-32, and MT-30 are priced at $354, $263, $220, $184, $268, $225 and $189 respectively, in 1,000-unit quantities.

AMD ‘basically lies’ about Computex benchmark, YouTuber says
AMD's CEO delivering the Computex 2024 presentation.

AMD is coming under some fire for performance data it shared following its Computex 2024 keynote. Thankfully, the data in question doesn't concern AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000 CPUs, which are slated to launch in July. Instead, it concerns the performance numbers AMD shared for its repackaged Ryzen 9 5900 XT and Ryzen 7 5800 XT CPUs, which are built on the aging Zen 3 architecture.

In a monthly Q&A, YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed broke down the performance numbers. In AMD's presentation, it showed the Ryzen 9 5900 XT and Ryzen 7 5800 XT beating the Intel competition by a few points in games. AMD compared the CPUs to the Core i7-13700K and Core i5-13600K, respectively, and showed its CPUs beating Intel by upwards of 12% in some games. Hardware Unboxed says that data isn't an accurate representation, however.

Snag Starfield and Lies of P for free with these AMD GPUs

No one can argue with free games, and that's exactly what AMD is offering with the purchase of a new RX 7800 XT or RX 7700 XT. You'll have to spend hundreds of dollars on a GPU, sure, but at least you're getting some free games to try it out with -- as well as one of the best graphics cards available right now.

It's a choose-your-own-adventure style of promotion. AMD has four games available, and you get to choose two to keep. The list includes Starfield, Lies of P, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Company of Heroes 3, all four of which have seen promotions from AMD in the past. I'm partial to Lies of P, which catapulted to the top of my list of favorite games last year with its tight, Bloodborne-style combat and dark fantasy take on the classic tale of Pinocchio.
