Griffin to Replace AMD's Turion Mobile Processor
Based on the K8 core, AMD's next generation mobile processor will be released mid-2008. The 65nm core socket S will receive Barcelona's Hyper transport 3 and will boast better power efficiency and management than its predecessor with its ability to limit the power consumption of the memory interface. The RS780/780G chipsets will combine with Griffin to include Hyperflash and Puma, which competes directly with Intel's Turbo Memory.

Anyway, sounds good - K8 CPU's with reduced power consumption, certainly beefy enough for laptops.
Oh and i dont hate the name griffin, although i thought it was spelled gryphon?
Anyway, why are they releasing k8 cpu's for laptops now when conroes and their kin are dominating the laptop market :confused:
And finally, custom northbridge and chipset from amd for mobile computing :D (plus DDR2)
