YIKES! MT-37 and MT-40 now available and on the price list at $268 and $359. I assume that MT-40 is 2.2 GHz 1M L2. So Turion now exceeds Centrino in clock speed AND uses less power (25W). Way less power if you allow for the MTH power needed on Intel systems. KUDO's, AMD! Here's the press release at amd.com
