Ummm... how come this thread has reached the news just now? I mean, it's rather old news, this thread has been around for quite some while?
I called Monarch Computer and asked about the Turions and he wasn't sure what I was talking about. they have been getting tons of calls about the Venice. I told them thry should order some. Since Monarch is a system builder, they should have no problems getting them he said. So hopefully by mid april they will have some Turries! Now that we are on the subject of 90 nm 754, has anyone here played with a Palermo Sempron? I was thinking of getting a cheap one for $80 just to mess around with.

A glitch, goof, error, mixup, mistake. Speak of it again and I shall be forced to :slapass: :lol:Quote:

so basicly these turions are san diego s754 chips with single channel?
yes, but some of them have 512kb of cache instead of 1mb
amd told me theres a difference, there are different transistors you can chose when building a cpu, some consume more power and switch faster, some consume less power and switch slower, just an easy example.Quote:

i dont know if this i true though, or if its just marketing :D
after all having a different mask for the turion cpus ould mean a lot of extra work...
since turion is now released and there are/will be reviews of turion cpus already/shortly i unstuck this thread to make some more room for new stickies in this section :D
have you seen any for sale? i'll try one out! (gotta stop buying cpu's, and get some other parts..3 cpu's extra is too many already)
saaya, any chance you could throw us a link to where they are available/released? i can't find them anywhere (presale or not), I thought that they weren't going to be released until mid april? (perhaps a difference on semantics?)

Does anyone have OC results yet (More than 2Ghz)? The latest article from anandtech:
Much as we suspected, all of the power optimizations that went "into" Turion 64 are all transistor level optimizations. Basically selecting transistors that provide better thermal and power characteristics at the expense of lower switching frequencies. Given that the Turion 64 runs at multiple speed grades lower than the fastest desktop Athlon 64s, this tradeoff makes sense, but it also means that Turion 64 is no Pentium M killer.

It might hit a 'wall' when going above ~2.5ghz or something...
yeah, it appears that way :stick:
oh well. we can always hope. if not.. there's still newark :banana:
No, the successor to the Turion will go on a socket similar or the same as M2.Quote:

too bad. I was hoping for the new "athlon XP mobile" under the A64's
a bit premature aren't we?
I'm going to reserve judgement until there are some actual user results coming through...
has anybody already got Turion?Quote:

Turions sure have funny steppings :D lol "Cabse, wait for me !!!" lol
Though this is a *P*W so it should be one of the ones that oc well.

In any case they're coming and should be bringing updated chipsets to the 754.

Dunno, but I thought *P*W was the most common on A64. AFAIK, that code only tells you when it's manufactured,Quote:

iirc, all amd proc's are xPxW :toast:
Yeah, me too. Maybe there are some typos in the OC database....Quote:
