for everyone already holding their breath, your faces will get a bit bluer. Apparently this is due to a slowdown in notebook sales because of (sigh) FURTHER delay of the release of windows vista. Sorry doods, one more month.

umm. being an AMD fan in desktop...I can't say this is good to an already Intel saturated market in laptops. Well anyway, got my M1710 on the way.

I have been holding off my laptop pruchase until these chips came to the market... I guess I am waiting a lot longer now.

I hate the thought but if the new Intels hit the street first I might jump that way.

It seems unlikely that the Turions will be delayed long enough for Merom to beat them, but it's possible. It really doesn't matter either way though, because we'll just end up with two good mobile processor choices.

AMD has put back the launch of its upcoming dual-core Turion 64 mobile processors to June, online reports have claimed. If true, the move - which had been forecast - will see the chip family's debut delayed just a month, though it brings the line's debut closer to the arrival of Intel's 'Merom' CPU.

AMD's apparent decision to re-schedule the Turion 64 X2 introduction was alleged by Taiwanese notebook manufacturer sources cited by DigiTimes. Originally due to be launched on 9 May, the sources claimed, the chips will now debut in June - possibly at the Computex show in Taipei, which kicks off on the 6th....
