Lam1969 writes "IDG News Service reports NEC will release its first laptop based on Intel's Yonah dual-core processor in the first quarter of 2006, for just under $2,000. According to AnandTech, Yonah performance is comparable to AMD Athlon 64 X2, and is more efficient than the AMD chip in terms of power consumption."

    AFAIK, there's no real advantage to dual-core in a desktop; the whole idea of dual-core is to get, more or less, dual-CPU performance with single-CPU power consumption. For desktops, regular dual CPU's will be a lot cheaper and just as effective for a long time to come.

    Or am I missing something here?
