Lately various people, more or less fans of AMD products, have been complaining of the lack of new hardware updates. Seemingly almost aimed at those particular people, AMD officials have just announced the release of a myriad of new processors spanned across the Turion 64 Ultra, Turion 64, Athlon 64, and Sempron mobile processor lines, based on Griffin-chips.

Looking at the Turion side, the processors are each said to boast DDR2 800MHz memory, along with clock speeds ranging from 2.0GHz to 2.4GHz, and power consumption between 32 and 35 Watts. The Athlon 64 chip, on the other hand, clocks in at 1.9GHz, with 1MB of L2 cache, DDR2 667MHz support, and a power consumption of 31W, while the Sempron rounds things out with a power consumption of 25W, 512KB of L2 cache, and a clock speed “starting from” 2.0GHz. No word on prices for the processors themselves just yet, but as Laptoping points out, AMD has announced that Puma / Griffin-powered laptops would begin shipping sometime in the second quarter of this year.
