    Is the 7510gx a 90nm?

    Thought that I saw that the 7510gx was a 90nm instead of 130. Can anyone verify this?

    I've seen it at Best Buy and ran CPU-Z on it (with no emplyess around ;)), it is indeed a 90nm core (or at least the display model was). This is a slight improvement over the 7422/7426GX as those had the 130nm cores. What does all that mean to the user? Eh, not a whole lot really, slightly better battery life I guess.

    lowlymarine,
    You seem to know a lot about these computers and I do appreciate your help greatly. My question now is, if the 7510gx is a 90nm, what is the difference between it and the Turions? Could this possibly be a pre-release of a Turion? My impression was that the 90nm was the Turion because it can run at lower wattages. Please correct me if I am wrong! Also, I notice that you are running a 9300 but seem to really like the gateway, any chance you could do a quick breakdown of the 2? I like the 9300 also, but would like to get x64 mainly because I am curious to see what it can do. Thats why I like the 64 processors! Anyway, any help from anyone is appreciatted!

    Ryan

    Is this a 61w or maybe(hopefully) a 35w? If it is a 35w I am buying it tonight before it goes off sale!

    I doubt it would be a 35W part but you never know. Anyway, it should contain the new SSE3 instruction and other improvements of the never dekstop and notebook cores.
