Wbmw, From your link:

While the Lifebook S2010 with the low-voltage Athlon XP M CPU runs for a good two and three-quarters of an hour, the Lifebook S6120 comes in at just under three hours (presentation).

In the DVD test, the Lifebook S2010 suddenly falls well behind. However, this is attributable not to poor power management by the CPU, but, above all, to the DVD player software used (Power DVD), which, at 40 percent, has a relatively high average processor load. With the Lifebook S6120, the average CPU load in DVD playback was just 25 percent. If the processor load remains consistent at almost 100 percent (game), the lights on both notebooks will go out after just over an hour.

I know these paragraphs are about power, but I am pleasantly surprized. Thank you please.
Processors:
s2010=AMD
s6120=large name brand

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

Just to help the AMD cheerleaders read between the lines:

"The basic figures from Sysmark2002 suggest that the Athlon System (S2010) is 23 percent slower (overall value)."

The Arf Arf Athlon is embarrassing.
