* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56: 1.80GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core);
* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58: 1.90GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core);
* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60: 2.00GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core);
* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-64: 2.20GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core);
* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-66: 2.30GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core).

apparently the tl-66 will ship at the end of the month, while the others are shipping now.

Good news I suppose. Not sure if they can make any money competing w/ C2D, but good for prices. I've seen 2.2 Ghz before this release, but not many. Is the 2.3 the only new mobile proc coming from 65nm?

we'll see i suppose.

The 2.3 should compete decently with the 1.83Ghz Merom, if it's priced well.
