Well, there's really not much new about this K8N800A chipset other than Turion 64 support compared to the old K8N800 chipset. From the looks of it, the ATI Xpress 200M chipset is better in almost every respect.

AMD often attempts to pull off a stunt at the time of the Intel Developer Forum.

And this time it took to the sky in a bid to remind Intel that it has a dual core Turion 64 notebook processor on the way.

Four or five planes flying in a line spelt out the words AMD Turion 64 Mobility in the rather nice blue skies above San Francisco.

I wonder what socket the Dual Core Turion 64 will be released for though. My guess is the Turion 64 family of CPUs will eventually all be socket 939.

It would probably start with 754 sockets then move on to the 939. I guess it all depends on AMD and their chip set makers.

this doesnt make any sense..

why would they put in 754? are they crazy like intel?
nope certainly not, if 939 can support dual cores then the 939 socket has a very very long life ahead of it..754 in turion would be a fatal mistake!

You're right. I almost forgot that AMD has said the 939 pin supports dual-core but 754 does not. If AMD does have a dual core Turion chip coming out, wouldn't that mean they would have to release 939 mobile chips?

I have a feeling this won't happen for a long time though, like 3-4Q '05.

most likely the turion will come out as a single core 939 ..
and about 6 months down the line we could just change out the proc and put in a dual core and a bios update..

Oops sorry, i wasn't clear. I ment that AMD might start Turions out to be 754 sockets and move on to 939 sockets. It would be nice if AMD allowed previous AMD 754 socket users to be able to upgrade to a Turion.


As for dual core i believed that they will only be for 940 and 939 sockets.

AMD touts Turion 64 technology on the sidelines of IDF
Quote:
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has been touting its forthcoming Turion 64 processor for notebooks on the sidelines of the Intel Developer Forum (IDF), held in San Francisco from March 1-3, pledging that the new CPU will be available by mid-year.

Although Intel has continued to promote its strategy to sell its new CPUs, core logic and wireless chipsets as packaged platform solutions, sources at AMD said that the company will launch the Turion 64 independently but will promote the CPU in cooperation with other chipmakers, including ATI Technologies, Nvidia, VIA Technologies and Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS).

The recently launched Radeon Xpress 200M IGP (integrated graphics processor) from ATI and the K8N800A IGP from VIA are both compatible with AMD’s upcoming Turion 64 mobile technology, the sources noted.

In addition, AMD will also provide validation and compatibility-testing services for core-logic and wireless chipset designs optimized for Turion 64 technology, the sources added.
