I’m trying to understand the difference between a Turion and an Athlon. I found AMD’s website no help at all.
I’m down to three options.
AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 ($500, has 2 gigs ram)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-57 (whole system is only $430 1 GIG ram)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-55 (1 gig ram, costs $480)
Which CPU is the best? Is Turion better for battery life? Does Turion have anything to do with wifi? They all have wifi anyway, like every laptop today!

Go with the Turion.
It’s got a lower power consumption and better performance.

Those TK chips rock though.. im pretty sre that TK57 (cpu-cpu comparison of course) would beat that TL-58…
Inded though, power-wise, the turion has wayyyy better power consumption than an athlon will…

Wait, so the Athlon is stronger than the Turion?
I kinda want the $480 one just because its ATI and not Nvidia on the graphics side, and I don’t mind helping out AMD.
Could always upgrade the RAM in that thing to 2 gigs anyway.

I just did some extra checking (to make sure im not providing false information) and it seems basically both chips are the same, both 65nm, both 2x512k, both 1.9ghz, both 31w, except one is athlon x2 and one is turion x2.. I dont know much about how the turions compare straight up to an athlon, but I know athlon is a good name in general, and its the system you want, and its cheaper, so I would take that one just based on your desire
CPU-CPU performance should be basically the same, as is power rating.

Turion is the same thing as an althon its just in a mobile form

If you can though, try and see if you can find at least the TL-60 processor.

Yeah. The TL-60 will lay waste to the others with its higher frequency, doubled L2 cache…
If you go Tl-60, make sure to get the 65nm version and not the 90nm version because you will be saving yourself on 4w of power (lots for a laptop)
65nm = 31w and 90nm = 35w

Computers alone have been proven to help people in many areas. However, there are different parts that make a computer system complete, and each part has a different function. The microprocessor in a computer is also known as the brain of the computer. Many companies make microprocessors and one of them is AMD or Advanced Micro Devices. Two products from this company: 1. AMD Athlon and 2. AMD Turion.
Highlights
- AMD Athlon processors are budget options for everyday computing, while AMD Turion processors are designed for the mobile market with a focus on power efficiency and performance.
- Turion processors feature advanced power-saving technologies to extend notebook battery life, while Athlon processors prioritize economy.
- Both processor lines provide sufficient performance for their target markets, but Turion processors are more suitable for portable devices due to lower power consumption and heat dissipation.
AMD Athlon vs. AMD Turion
The difference between AMD Athlon and AMD Turion is both in microprocessor battery and machine life. The AMD Athlon has a shorter battery life as well as a shorter machine run time. On the other hand, the AMD Turion had longer battery life as well as more machine uptime.
AMD Athlon is a microprocessor manufactured by the American company Advanced Micro Devices. The product was released on June 23, 1999. The first processor was built in the early 1990s and it was the result of the K7 processors we were making at the time. Even though the product was released on June 23, 1999, it became available to people by August 1999.
AMD Turion is a microprocessor manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. In this variant, the company released several more products. These variants include Turion 64, Turion 64 X2, Turion X2 Ultra, etc. Each of these variants has different upgraded features.

AMD Athlon is a microprocessor manufactured by AMD or Advanced Micro Devices.
The Athlon was the first processor to achieve gigahertz speeds. The word «athlon» comes from an ancient Greek word that literally means a contest or a reward for a contest.
There are several generations of Athlon microprocessors. Each variant of the respective generation had different features and upgrades.
The second generation of the AMD Athlon series was called the Athlon Thunderbird and was released on June 4, 2000. It was also known as «T-Bird». In total, it had 37 million transistors.
The third generation is called the Athlon XP. It was released on October 9, 2001. There were six variants of this generation. Each option had different characteristics.
Cache size and instructions changed accordingly. Athlon 64 was released in 2005.
It was part of the fourth generation of the Athlon series.
There are several advantages to using an AMD Athlon. It can be used to work with spreadsheets, browse the web, email, and even word processing.
It can also run multiple applications at the same time and use many multimedia features such as video and audio. You can also play games online with a high-speed Internet connection or Wi-Fi.
What is AMD Turion?
AMD Turion is also a microprocessor. Several variants of this microprocessor were released.
The company has added a new feature to this microprocessor that consumes less power. RAM up to 1 terabyte. It also comes with the best battery and machine life.
Turion 64 is one of the variants of the Turion series. A socket from Advanced Micro Devices called «socket 754» is where it connects.
It is equipped with L2 cache. The Turion 64 X2 is also a variant that uses DDR2 memory and an S1 socket.
It comes with additional features related to the energy saving of the device.
Advanced Micro Devices also made processors that were built and packaged for mobile devices only. Turion X2 Ultra was a processor belonging to this category.
This processor had a Dual Core, and its thermal power was also calculated differently. This processor could switch between different frequencies ranging from one to eight in a fraction of a second.
The chips used in the AMD Turion consume less power and thus save power. These chips also provide clock speed reduction.
These microprocessors also use hypertransport technology, which is used to connect various peripherals and computers. Because of this, AMD Turion has higher bandwidth.
Main differences between AMD Athlon and AMD Turion
- AMD Athlon has lower bandwidth. On the other hand, AMD Turion has higher bandwidth.
- AMD Athlon has better clock speed than AMD Turion clock speed.
- AMD Athlon clock speed ranges from 1.8-2.8 GHz. On the other hand, AMD Turion’s clock speed fluctuates between 1.46-2.4 GHz.
- AMD Athlon consumes more power. On the other hand, AMD Turion consumes less power.
- AMD Athlon is cheaper than AMD Turion.
- AMD Athlon processors are budget options for everyday computing, while AMD Turion processors are designed for the mobile market with a focus on power efficiency and performance.
