Codenamed "Griffin", is the first internal project from AMD for a new line of processors solely for the mobile platform, based on the Athlon 64 (K8) architecture with some specific architectural enhancements similar to upcoming Opteron processors aimed at lower power consumption and longer battery life.

Features
The processor was designed following the SoC methodology, the processor itself will be fabricated on 65 nm process with features as DDR2 SO-DIMM support up to 800 MHz (DDR2-800, 400 MHz DDR) with DRAM prefetcher, and mobile enhanced northbridge. The processor cores also comes with a 1 MB dedicated L2 cache, giving a total of 2 MB L2 cache. System-on-a-chip (SoC or SOC) is an idea of integrating all components of a computer system into a single chip. ...
The 65 nanometer (65 nm) process is (as of 2006) the most advanced lithographic node for volume semiconductor manufacturing, however it will soon be eclipsed when 45 nanometer lithography becomes commercially viable. ...
SO DIMM is an abbreviation for Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module, and is a smaller form of DIMM used most often in notebook/portable computers, small form-factor computers (Such as those with a Mini ITX motherboard) and high-end upgradable office printers. ...

The Griffin processor implements split power planes which is derived from K10 architecture as phase-locked loops (PLL), allows two cores and the northbridge to run at different voltages as well as different frequencies of the cores at 1/8 clock frequency intervals with 5 voltage levels,[1] with complete deeper sleep state C4 (AltVID) support and HyperTransport 3.0 support up to 2.6 GB/s, or up to 41.6 GB/s bandwidth per link at 16-bit link width and dynamic scaling of HT link width down to 0-bit ("disconnected") in both directions from and to the chipset for four different usage scenarios [2]. Griffin also implements multiple on-die thermal sensors through integrated SMBUS (SB-TSI) interface (replaces and eliminates the thermal monitor circuit chip through SMBUS in its predecessors) with additional MEMHOT signal sent from embedded controller to the processor, and reduces memory temperature. The AMD K10 is AMDs next generation of processors. ...
A phase-lock, or phase-locked, loop (PLL) is an electronic control system that generates a signal that is locked to the phase of an input or reference signal. ...
HyperTransport logo HyperTransport (HT), formerly known as Lightning Data Transport (LDT), is a bidirectional serial/parallel high-bandwidth, low-latency point to point link that was introduced on April 2, 2001. ...
Scheme of a chipset A chipset is a group of integrated circuits, or chips, that are designed to work together, and are usually marketed as a single product. ...
It was reported that Griffin products shared the same physical pin count and layout as it predecessor (Turion 64 X2, codenamed Tyler), but not electrically compatible with Socket S1.[3] It is worth noting that given the above enhancements on the architecture, the cores were not modified at all and was based on K8 instead being based on the floating-point performance enhanced K10 microarchitecture.[3] Turion 64 X2 Logo Turion 64 X2 is AMDs 64-bit dual-core mobile processor, intended to compete with Intels Core and upcoming Core 2 processors. ...
Socket S1 is the new type of CPU socket predicted to be used by AMD for their new Turion and Athlon 64 Mobile processors. ...

Availability The "Griffin" processor is still under development, and was expected to be released together with the "Puma" mobile platform in 2008. The AMD mobile platform is an open platform for laptops from AMD. Though little marketing was done on this platform, it has been competing with the Centrino platform in the segment to gain more marketshare. ...
