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

Actually the Dell was a 1.7 Ghz processor with PC 2700, and the no name laptop had PC 2100. As far as these laptops being nearly equal in performance, I think that is a matter of opinion, but one that only has a very loose realationship with reality
