Turion 64 X2 Mobile technology is a family of dual-core mobile
microprocessors. The dual-core Turion processors are based on K8
architecture and have 128 KB level 1 cache, from 512 KB to 1 MB level
2 cache, dual-channel DDR2 memory controller and one hyper-transport
link. All microprocessors in the Turion 64 X2 family work with socket
S1. Like single-core Turion processors, the Turion 64 X2 CPUs include
Deeper Sleep power-saving mode. In addition to that dual-core Turions
have lower core voltage than Turion 64 processors, and, despite the
fact that they have two CPU cores on one die, their power
requirements are not significantly higher than power requirements of
single-core Turions.
Model numbers of Turion 64 X2 microprocessors are similar to model
numbers of single-core Turion 64 CPUs. The model number consists of
two letters and two digits. The first letter 'T' identifies dual-core
Turion processors. The second letter specifies power requirements for
the processor - more energy efficient CPUs have letters closer to Z,
less energy efficient CPUs have letters closer to A. Two digits in
the model number specify performance relative to other Turion 64 X2
microprocessors - faster processors have higher two-digit number.
Please note that, unlike for Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 X2 processors,
Turion model numbers cannot be used to compare performance of a
dual-core Turion CPU with a performance of single-core
microprocessor.
