AMD lauched yesterday the so waited Centrino rival: Turion 64. Target to the mobile market, Turion 64 uses the same 64-bit technology as Athlon 64. Seven models were released:

• ML-37: 2 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache;
• ML-34: 1.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache;
• ML-32: 1.8 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache;
• ML-30: 1.6 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache;
• MT-34: 1.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache;
• MT-32: 1.8 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache;
• MT-30: 1.6 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache.

As you can see, AMD started using a naming scheme just like Intel: instead of using the CPU clock or its performance to name it, AMD is now using a "processor model". The difference between the ML and MT models is the maximum dissipated power: the ML series dissipates 35 W, while the MT series dissipates 25 W.

Turion 64 has the same features as Athlon 64: Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) and integrated memory controller (single channel) supporting DDR400/PC3200 memories and 128 KB cache L1. It is manufactured under 90 nm technology.
