All of the processors features support for AMD’s Turbo Core 2.0 technology, which automatically adjusts the clock speed of the HP ProBook 6565b AC adapter depending on the load placed on its cores, as well as Radeon HD 6000-series integrated graphics. AMD’s APUs can be seconded by as much as 16GB of DDR3-1333 system memory and storage options include 7200RPM hard drives with up to 750GB in size, a 320GB self-encrypting drive or a 128GB SSD.

I was assured that all of the HP business notebooks will have USB 3.0. Yes, I know you experts also know this, but the release date is also confidential.

When working on comparable reference platforms, Dumbeck said, "Doing Windows idle, we had 11 hours, three minutes on HP ProBook 6565b battery life with our A8, which is top-of-the-line quad-core. And then we had an i3 Sandy Bridge, off-the-shelf, that was a dual-core i3. So we had the very top of our line and we had an i3 dual-core, which is entry/midrange. [With the i3] we saw about eight hours, 42 minutes."

Hockey needs to keep both of his microprocessor suppliers happy, so he was loathe to express a preference or make a judgement as to his company's Intel-based notebooks versus AMD-based units.
