wbmw, on processor performance

If Intel integrated a memory controller on the die in addition to the above, they would run circles around "Hammer" and have lower power besides.

What makes you think that the mobile design could outperform the hammer line? Could you point to some benchmarks showing this? I know you like your Centrino, but do you really think it stands a chance in application benchmarks against an AMD64 2700+ or 3000+ mobile processor?

And that's what we really need now: for someone to benchmark something like the eMachines notebook against a Centrino notebook, even with the inevitable differences in chipset, disk drives, etc. Is anyone able to take this task on?
