Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Turion 64 MK-36 was specifically designed for use in notebooks. It was based on the Richmond architecture and manufactured using a 90-nanometer process. A notable strength was its native 64-bit capability, which allowed access to larger amounts of memory. This was a crucial advantage for running even more demanding applications of its time smoothly.

For a mobile system, the energy efficiency of the AMD Turion 64 MK-36 was also of great importance. It helped to significantly extend the battery life of laptops. This made it very practical for everyday use. With 1 MB of Level 2 cache, the processor could quickly access frequently used data. The maximum memory bandwidth of 13 GB/s supported a responsive system behavior.

We witnessed how this processor formed a solid foundation for many mobile computers. The AMD Turion 64 MK-36 was a reliable choice that combined performance and mobility in a good way.
  • 64-bit capability
  • Energy efficiency for mobile devices
  • 1 MB Level-2 cache
