Re: Go on you can say it, it comes 2nd to it, the lowest spec X2, in 16/22 tests.
Ok, Troll, unless you have reason to believe that this won't also be the highest spec mobile X2, then what's your point? Yonah's a mobile CPU, and except for a low power enthusiast niche on the desktop and a low power blade niche in servers, it will be targeting the mobile market.
Re: 5% is all A64 has needed to kick Prescott out of the desktop market.
Are you making things up again? Since when has Prescott been kicked out of the desktop market? Intel still owns 80% of the x86 market, and Prescott is still the largest selling core, by far. Have you been living under a rock wearing AMD-green colored glasses?
Re: has no 64-bit capability and is twice as expensive ?
First of all, the judges are still out on whether 64-bit makes any difference in the mobile market. And second of all, you have it backwards in terms of cost. Yonah may be priced twice as high as Turion, but that's because the market is willing to pay for the perceived quality, low power, and performance. Yet, Yonah is probably half the *cost* of the Turion because it's only ~90mm^2 in terms of die size, and it's on a bulk-silicon 65nm process on 300mm wafers with fewer metal layers than even AMD's 90nm process.
Re: I wonder how much the L2 latency will drop further when it has to clock higher and also be 64-bit ?
Do you have any reason to believe that the current increase in cache latency is in any way more of an impact than the benefit of having a shared cache? The performance benchmarks seem to differ from your FUD.
