UND, Re: 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?

THG shows some benchmarks where a 1.6GHz Banias processor core comes close or outperforms a 2.0GHz Athlon 64.

That's one datapoint (not a very good one), but it's moot anyway. My thesis involved a theoretical Dothan derived desktop part with iMC, Hyperthreading, 800MT/s FSB, and higher frequencies that would be going against a fully desktop Athlon 64 or 64-FX. I don't think the Athlon 64 line would stand a chance - either in pure performance or lower power.
