March 24th 2006 | Laptops

Notebook makers in Taiwan predict that AMD’s first batch of dual-core Turion 64 mobile processors, which will reportedly be released on May 9, may start a price war in the dual-core notebook market sooner than expected. AMD is expected to offer better prices for its Turion 64 X2 CPU line than comparable offerings from Intel, indicated the makers.

New Turion 64 X2 models from Acer, Asustek Computer and Hewlett Packard (HP) are planned to arrive in May, indicated the sources, expecting that a price war in the dual-core notebook market may move forward.
