Umm... I don't like such kind of CEO, but indeed their technology can be sold at a considerably high price. "LongRun2" may be important if leak current becomes more and more serious in 65/45nm processes. NEC electronics and Fujitsu already made a contract (Fujitsu makes 90nm Efficeon in their factory in Akiruno, Tokyo).
I like Efficeon, but I understand that it is difficult to be popular in the U.S. market (and understood in the U.S. stock market...).
As for benchmark results, actually, Efficion is completely different from Crusoe.
Some benchmarks show that an Efficion 1GHz runs as fast as Pentium-M 900MHz or so.
We can easily find such results over the web (but many of them are in Japanese...).
#I think that the performance is very good for the TDPmax, which is important for A5-size, 800g notebooks...
