Are there any advantages of using a mobile amd-64 cpu over a normal one??

Im just lookin for a new cpu, and came acroos mobile amd64 cpus.

And was wondering wether there was any advantage over the nrmal ones.

As in socket A the mobiles were far better at overclocking etc?

Anyone got any thoughts?

 

I believe they're designed to use less power, among other things.

 

They're limited to Socket 754, which means single channel memory.

 

I was also wondering this, but wasn't going to bother finding out since obviously no-one actually buys them for overclocking with. The A64's are pretty low voltage anyway, I mean, the barton mobile I have here is 1.45V at stock but I believe thats actually higher then most of the 939 chips take at stock, and they're non-mobiles.

To be honest, who needs mobile A64's when Opterons exist?

 

if you want a low power loving cpu then I'm afraid you have to turn to intel... their dothan based fastest models beat the crap out of my 3500+ winchester at amasingly low power usage... though it's a laptop cpu aswell...

 

yer dothans iv seen have beat a lot of fx57s in super-pi to 1m i would get one if i had the money to get another computer and reason with my parents why i would need 2 computers...
