Hi Christopher,

Turion processor (processor for notebooks:ML-37,40,42) has power consuption
25-35 watts depends on proc model.
Athlon x2 4xxx has power consumption up to 92 watts (actually Opterons almost
the same: 152 has 55 watts, 280 has 68w and 880 - 92 watts, btw Fx-57 has 110W).
So right now it's not possible to put them into notebooks. To use them in
notebooks u need 65nm process. The only factory that will be able to do 65nm
processes is Fab 36 in Dresden (it will be opened on Friday) but 65 process most
likely will not be availble until mid 2006. By that time processor will be
switching to M2 and S1 sockets and DDR2 memory support.

With best regards,

Yar
