Turion 64 is based on Athlon 64's architecture, and the main difference between Turion 64 and Athlon 64 Mobile is
the power consumption, which is lower on Turion 64: Athlon 64 Mobile dissipates 65 W while Turion 64 dissipates only
35 W (ML models) or 25 W (MT models). Another difference between them is the amount of L2 cache, which is always of 1 MB
on Athlon 64 Mobile, while Turion 64 can have a L2 memory cache of 512 KB or 1 MB, depending on the model
In addition - Athlon was developed mainly for desktop and turion for laptops Answer
Overall Athlon range is economy version and has less performance compared to Turion which are relatively high end processors. Although initially Athlon name was used only for desktop processors, later both Turion and Athlon brands have been used for dual core processors designed for notebook computers. Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family is AMD's most advanced family of dual-core processors made for mobility to date. Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family is a more affordable relatively lower performance range of processors for notebook PCs. Exact specification and performance numbers depends on the model number of the processor in respective families.

∙ 13y agoIf it's just between those two, Athlon is better by a long shot. Turion processors are low-power, lower-performance processors designed for laptops. However, since the original Athlon line of processors is no longer in production, the new Athlon II line of processors is very cheap, starting at about $50 for the Athlon II X2 dual-cores, which run on the AM3 socket.

∙ 13y agoWell, an Athlon is designed for a desktop, thus producing more heat. Turion is made for a laptop, less heat and more battery. Although an Athlon is slightly faster, it with have a low battery.

∙ 12y agoit does depend on what processing speed you have for example a phenom 2 might have 3.2 ghz while turion might have 2-3 ghz, it really does depend check it, by going on to my computer and system!

∙ 16y agoThose are two different types of processors, and each come in different speeds.

∙ 15y agoAMD Athlon and Turion are both AMD dual core mobile processors that are used in laptops now. They are both equally good however the Athlon gets better reviews.
