mas, just like I think that an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ will beat an Athlon 64 3500+. It´s no contest, especially in the notebook space where gaming performance is generally limited by the videocard (and even if it wasn´t, you know how well Pentium M performs in games vs. Turion), and computationally intensive tasks like encoding or multitasking scenarios benefit the most from DC. Perhaps you should read Anand´s conclusion again. He knows what he´s talking about. And I´ve talked about this for what, a year now?

"So you think it will beat a 2.4 GHz Turion in performance ?"

Well, given that apparently a X2 3800+ and a X2 4200+ garner identical scores on the Sysmark Communication test, despite a 10% higher clock rate, it is possible...

I wonder how that happened?

Re: So you think it will beat a 2.4 GHz Turion in performance ?

On multithreaded workloads, hell yes! By the way, when is AMD set to launch Turion at 2.4GHz, and at what power level?
