In Australia, its a datacentre. Comparative to the number of people in Au & the connections within Australia & to the rest of the world, its pretty big.
We only have two major cables out of Australia & capacity on them to the US costs hundreds of dollars a megabit/month.
Which Anandtech correctly points out that the performance of the two is quite close (at the same clockspeed), they then say its impressive that Yonah can do this without an onboard memory controller...but don't mention that Yonah has a fair bit more cache than the X2. It'll be interesting to see what AMDs reaction is, because by the looks all they need to do is add cache (aka the next model up).
It'll also be interesting to see how well it scales- the A64/X2 scales way above 2Ghz already (on 90nm) but the P-M is stuck at 2.13...Yonah needs to have improved that or they'll be left behind.

Officially it is. The top Yonah is 2.16Ghz to. Officiallt the X2 range tops out at 2.4Ghz but it to in reality doesn't "by a long shot".
