The deficiency in Intel's Bananas architecture is even worse than K7! The amazing Bapco Sysmark 2002 exposes the deficiencies of the Centrino product line mercilessly!

My goodness, a 3-year-old P4 1.4 is shown to be faster than the impossible-to-find highest-speed-available Centrino at the bottom of this page: http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.html?i=1800&p=13

There are only two possible explanations for Intel's failure:

Explanation #1 comes from Toms Hardware Guide. When the Athlon XP failed to perform as well as the Pentium 4 in the spanking new benchmark in April 2002, uncle Tom said, "the AMD processors prove to be relatively weak because they lack enhancements."
Yes, read this scientific explanation yourself at the bottom of this page: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20020402/p4_2400-13.html

And also notice that, even with 2002 chipsets, the P4 1.4 still has a higher Bapco CC 2002 score than the hopelessly-flawed Centrino! The Centrino just plain lacks features, that's the reason.

There is one other *possible* explanation, and it come from wbmw. Apparently the Centrino CPUs are too darned impatient. They don't "wait" properly. Those impish buggers of CPUs have a major flaw in their psyche, have no manners, and don't obey rules of etiquette, just like their AMD brethren.
