Re: even a long-discontinued Athlon XP 1600+ (1.4 GHz) outperforms a 1600 MHz Banias by 6%

Wow, the FUD is getting vicious. This is fun to watch, and I almost don't want to spoil it by mentioning that Pentium M is a mobile chip, while the Athlon XP that Anand tested was using desktop parts - such as a 7200RPM hard drive and PC2700 memory (the Centrino systems used 4200-5400RPM drives and PC2100 in Anand's review), both of which tend to increase performance under benchmarks such as SysMark.

Maybe you should use a more accurate side-by-side comparison.
