Hidden among AMD's big desktop processor price cuts (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/07/09/amd_price_cuts/), was the arrival on the chip maker's public price list of a new mobile CPU: the Turion 64 X2 TL-66.
The dual-core part is clocked at 2.3GHz and contains 1MB of L2 cache - 512KB per core - as per other members of the Turion X2 line-up. Like them, the new part sits on a HyperTransport clocked at 1600MHz.
The new CPU is priced at $354 when ordered in batches of 1000.
AMD formally announced the TL-66 back in May, when it unveiled a range of 65nm Turions (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/05/09/amd_details_65nm_turions/). At the time, the 2.34GHz chip was due to go on sale at the end of the month. It may well have done, but it didn't appear on AMD's 5 June price list update. Just over a month later, it now has.
