AMD Processor?
Notebook Processors
————————————————————————-
1. AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology
2. AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology
3. Mobile AMD Athlon™ 64
4. AMD Athlon™ 64 for DTR
5. Mobile AMD Sempron™
Which is the best and why? Can you give me the exact speed of each processor or the processor you know.
Has anyone used a laptop with a AMD processor?
Hi, im planning on getting a new laptop from dell ( a cheap one ) and am wondering about the processor, its a AMD Athlon 64 dual core Mobile Technology. Has anyone used one of these?? whats it like, ill just be using it for music, guitar pro, msn , and browsing the web. will this be fast enough??
ive got the choice of a AMD Turion 64 dual core Mobile Technology for a bit more, is it worth it???
Should I opt for an AMD processor over an Intel?
I plan on buying a new computer soon and will be going with Dell. Dell currently has two models of the same system except they have different processors. I have always used an Intel processor, but I hear AMD processors are also pretty reliable.
Should I stick with the familiar, well known Intel or should go for a cheaper AMD system? Recommendations?
Will I see a difference between an AMD and an Intel processor?
I currently have an Acer (Aspire 5633) laptop with the following specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo processor, T5500 @ 1.66Ghz, 667Mhz FSB with 2MB L2 cache;
2GB DDR2 RAM;
Intel integrated graphics.
I am thinking about buying an HP Pavilion (DV9820) laptop with the following specs:
AMD Turion 64×2 Dual Core processor @ 2Ghz, 1600Mhz FSB with 1MB L2 cache;
3GB DDR2 RAM;
NVidia GeForce 8400GM 256MB dedicated graphics.
I have never had a machine with an AMD processor before, but I do know that they typically don’t run as fast as the Intel Core 2 Duo.
What I really want to know is will I still see a significant improvement in performance if I buy the HP laptop, compared to my current laptop? I really want an HP, they look so stylish and have much better build-quality than other brands, but they tend to favour AMD processors. The only HP I’ve found with an Intel is well over my budget!
I don’t play games, I basically surf the internet and do some video and photo editing, but nothing too strenuous. I know the specs on my current laptop are still pretty decent – the main reason I’m getting a new one is because I want a 17-inch screen, as opposed to my current 15-inch screen, so I thought I might as well go for the best specs I can afford if I’m buying a new one.
