I thought Yonah would be the first 64bit enabled mobile CPUs from Intel
Tom's (if you can trust that site) says that Yonah will only be 32bit when it is released, though it will be dual core.

Ah I stand corrected, for some reason I was thinking Yonah, but I do not have any sources to back me up.
Thanks for clearing that up

The P-M is a P3 based chip
it has a slightly longer pipe and a refreshed FSB interface
because of that the cost in develping 64bit extensions are not going to be cheap
and they would not work the same as the P4's 64bit extensions which would require an update to the silicon on the northbridge chip
right now AMD does not have any comparable low whattage 64bit chip so there is no competition driving intel to introduce the feature
anyways intel never does more than one major feature per platform cycle
this is in an effort to prevent upgradeing instead of replaceing and to shorten the replacement cycle to sell more product

The problem is...Turion flat out sucks. It uses more power than the PM, it has poorer performance than a Pentium M. It also runs hotter than a Pentium M. If AMD would get off their asses and design their own from the ground up mobile core-logic MAYBE they'd be able to compete with the Pentium M. Right now if you're looking for a notebook, Pentium M is the king.TheCzar said:Actually AMD does have competitiont, its called the Turion...they're just hard to find at the moment...
No Intel fan-boi bullshit either. I run three AMD rigs here and only my main desktop and Laptops are Intel (got the retail edge deal last year). Right now I'm trying to ditch this Intel setup I got and go AMD 64 with SLI.

Turion is more of the same, an Athlon 64 ported to the laptop. With average power saving features and good performance, but still not the solution that Intel provides

Not even good performance. The Turion is sub-standard in almost everything.
