Turion X2 Ultra
Turion X2 Ultra is the first processor family from AMD solely for the mobile platform, based on the Athlon 64 architecture with some specific architectural enhancements similar to current Phenom processors aimed at lower power consumption and longer battery life. The Turion Ultra processor was released as part of the Puma mobile platform in June 2008. The Turion X2 Ultra is a dual-core processor to be fabricated on 65 NM technology using 300 mm SOI wafers. It will support DDR2-800 SO-Dim Ms and features a DRAM preference to improve performance and a mobile-enhanced north bridge. Each processor core comes with 1 MiB L2 cache for a total of 2 MiB L2 cache for the entire processor. This is double the L2 cache found on the current Turion 64 X2 processor. Clock rates range from 2.0 GHz to 2.4 GHz, and thermal design power will range from 32 watts to 35 watts. The Turion X2 Ultra processor, unlike earlier Turion, implements three voltage planes: one for the north bridge ...
