AMD unveils Centrino spoiler
 

AMD launched a new line of 64-bit mobile microprocessors last week, though details of the product line remain few and far between.

The product, dubbed Turion 64, marks the latest in a long line of daft brand names, not only from AMD, but from plenty of other chip makers too. Quite what it conveys is anyone's guess, but AMD hopes punters will read performance, reliability and long battery life into the name.

Certainly that's what it's supposed to suggest, along with "outstanding wireless compatibility, rich graphics and enhanced security", the company said.
