Mobile 64-bit chips arrive on AMD's embedded roadmap

AMD has added two mobile processors to its AMD64 Longevity Program for embedded products. The news means that AMD's dual-core Turion 64 X2 Model TL-52 and single-core Mobile AMD Sempron 3500+ will be available for at least five years, targeting thin client and single-board computers, among other embedded applications.

AMD says parts sold under its AMD64 Longevity Program are "identical in form, fit and function" to their counterparts for the mobile PC market.

However, the chips have lengthy design and qualification cycles, in addition to longer life spans in the marketplace, the company says.
