AMD Turion 64 X2 vs AMD Athlon 64 X2 I am buying a laptop both have the same specifications but different processors which should I buy?
The Turion series is designed for laptops, and thus consumes less power while producing less heat, the Athlon series is a desktop class processor, and thus consumes more power and produces more heat. For a laptop, I would recommend the Turion, but the Athlon will be slightly faster at the expense of very poor battery life.
Which laptop should you buy amd athlon 64 x2 dual-core mobile technology tk-55 oramd turion 64 x2 mobile technology tl-58?

Can i upgrade emachines e627 with amd phenom processors?
No. The eMachines e627 will only physically accept an S1 socket processor. The Athlon X2 is an AM2 socket processor. You will need to go with an AMD Turion X2. And even then some Turion X2 processors may not be supported by the BIOS. The AMD Turion X2 TL-50 should be supported and should be free of heat issues as the dual core version of this laptop was shipped with this processor. I have read of users successfully upgrading to the AMD Turion X2 TL-58 and TL-64 without issue. However, that is not first hand knowledge on my part. I have the same laptop with the single core TL-20 and am about to upgrade to the TL-64.
What is an AMD Turion?
AMD have added performance-per-watt as one of their competitive benchmarks ° still a big step below the alter of high performance, but at least the parameter is now in the cathedral. The testing and writing took several weeks. Turion 64s work on many desktop socket 754 motherboards. Not many people realize that the Turion 64 can also be used in this way. In fact, it doesn't even require a special motherboard ° many Socket 754 boards that support desktop processors can also run Turions.The effect of the optimizations is to reduce the maximum potential clock speed that the Turion 64 can support; clock for clock, there should be no difference. The effect of the slower transistors can be seen in the range of clock speeds for each processor: 1.6 ~ 2.4 GHz for Turion 64 chips, and 1.8 ~ 2.8 GHz for Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX chips. In theory, the regular Athlon 64 chips should be better overclockers than the Turion 64 chips.
