Core Duo Reaches the Desktop
rtt writes "AMD has long reigned the desktop CPU market due to Intel's offerings struggling to keep up in terms of performance and power consumption.
Yonah is the predecessor to the Core architecture and is predominantly a mobile chip, and is used at the heart of Intel's Viiv technology. Bit-tech has an article about Yonah beating the top of the range desktop AMD chip, the FX60, clock for clock. From the article" 'When Yonah is running at the same clock speed as AMD's Athlon 64 FX-60, we found that it beat it into a corner in just about every situation.'"
hmm, you better scan your machine for spyware and malicious stuff man, my amd turion laptop only turns on the fan when the moon and sun are in a 34.3721 degree angle from earth ...
...
the hype is great, but what exactly does that cpu cost that beats amd ? only twice as much ? wow
the power for the buck has always been in amd's pocket
users who decide the power usage of a processor by browsing websites and listening to the fan, have always been a joke in the cpu builders corner
I'd tell you the chances of this story being a dupe, but you wouldn't like it.
