    Does anyone know when HP made the switch from 90nm to 65nm in terms of AMD cores? Or are there still some 90nm cores floating around?

    Specifically, I'm looking at the dv2810us from CircuitCity, which has a Turion TL-60. According to wikipedia, the TL-60 was released May 2007, but the dv2810us seems to be a pretty old model based on the dv2500z, so it's possible that the CPUs are still 90nm.

    Any insight appreciated.

    Seeing as there is a 90nm version of that processor, it wouldnt surprise me.

    65nm switch happened over a year ago and the dv2810 is a new model. HP does seem to be updating the AMD versions as regularly as the Intel versions ever since they stopped selling CTO versions on their website. The dv28xx were only announced only a few weeks ago. So, it should be using a 65nm processor. Highly unlikely an OEM is using older parts on their newest systems.

    Agreed. My laptop was part of the dv x 4 xx release and it already had some 65nm availability (mine is one). The dv x 5 xx and up models should have been using 65nm exclusively.......
