    AMD Athlon Turion™ X2 ZM-87 is 2.4GHz, but also 35W compared with 25W for the QL-62. Or the TL-66 at 2.3GHz but also 35W. Make sure your cooilng system and BIOS can handle it. But to be honest, any speed improvement will be modest at best. Nothing noticeable in any application or game I can think of.
