Frankly it's a race. Turion with Nvidia chipset notebook or Merom. And these days, I'm not at all sure who's gonna win.

yeah but its not 64 bit. It wont be able to take full advantage of windows vista or 64 bit linux distros. It's basically obsolete the day you buy it.

Just to give a point of reference,

This was the last official roadmap from AMD that I know of, including both Trinidad (AM2) and Taylor (S1);

Auch bei den Notebook-Prozessoren wird sich eine ähnliche Entwicklung wie im Desktop vollziehen. In diesem Jahr kommen wohl noch schnellere Turion 64-Modelle, Mobile Sempron (Codename: Albany) und Mobile Sempron Low Voltage (Codename: Roma). Dual-Core gibt es hier erst im nächsten Jahr mit dem Mobile Athlon 64 „Trinidad“ (der 2003 schon einmal auf der Roadmap war) im Sockel M2 bei einem Verbrauch von 65 Watt. Die Stromsparvariante - ebenfalls Dual-Core - trägt den Codenamen Taylor (Socket M1 mit 638 Pins) und begnügt sich mit 35 Watt. Sparsamere Versionen sind nicht (mehr) auf der Roadmap. Anfang des Jahres war noch von Ultra Portable mit einem Verbrauch von unter 7 Watt die Rede. Intels Dual-Core-Pentium M wird 31 bzw. 15 Watt (Low Voltage) verschlingen.
And since this roadmap, Trinidad MA64 has been pushed back to Q2.

Yeah seems like June July could be both Intel and AMD coming to the scene with their updates. But since delays come very close to release times (meaning the last second), I wouldn't count on either of them arriving at that time.

Actually, Merom is slated for September at the moment; and from the best we can tell, Taylor is slated for End of Q1, and Trinidad is slated for Q3 sometime.

I just googled it and found taylor is for thin and light, trinidad is for desktop replacement systems, both use new socket and ddr2 667. Im wondering if taylor will be very similar to trinidad but just be slightly slower clock/ slightly lower wattage to get better battery life?

Yes, Taylor will be a 35W socket 638 (S1) part;

And Trinidad will be a 62W socket AM2 part;

I found this site that seems to do a good job of comparing:

Expect for the fact that NOTHING is 64bit and won't be mainstream for a very very long time since 95% of all pc's are still 32 bit.

still doesn't change the fact that it is obsolete on day one.

True,

but 95% of the PCs in existence today, have 180nm P4 Willamette or earlier, or AXP thoroughbred or earlier; have < 512MB RAM; GF2 or lower (integrated) graphics card; can't run most recent 3D application at all. And most of them probably sit in firm warehouses lying obsolete or have become the secondary/tertiary computer of some home.

It's not the PCs that are in existence that count, but what chips are on the market right now.

If you cannot use the chips that are on the market now and wont be able to use most mainstream apps in the next two or three years at least then there is no obselesence because if wouldn't be able to be used anyway. By the time 64bit is usuable and mainstream we will all have new laptops.

So, it absolutely counts what 95% of computers are because developers look at profit margins and marketability. If they can't sell a product to the market... they don't make money.

64bit is not a necessary technology at any rate whatsoever.

well we can see in 2008 if you are correct. IMHO 2008 is a long time away but not a long time to keep a computer. I bet if you did a poll of the avg public people who buy a new computer in 2-3 years are in the minority (top 20%). avg 60% keep for 5 years., last 20% keep for 6+ years.
so the majority 80% probably still will have the computer they bought in 2006 in 2011. Try asking those people in 2011 if they wish they had a 64 bit system. That might cause more people to upgrade a little bit earlier but most people are tight with their money.
