Dothan vs. Turion!

[yassarian]

Nice lengthy article on comparing an Acer 8104(Dothan 760 2.0ghz) verses an Acer Ferrari 2005 (Turion ML-37 2.0ghz):

Most stuff are as expected: Dothan better at interger stuff and Turion better at FP stuff, blah blah blah, but the REAL surprise is on page 13 -- Battery life!

It seems that while at *peak* load, P-M is more energy efficient, at *normal* load, the Turion ML-37 outpaces the PM by almost 20 min ! Interesting indeed...

cheers,

i would choose AMD's processors if dell had them with those irresistable coupons...cuz if they did..then i wouldn't think twice about getting a 64-bit processor from dell

Seems to me those "irresistable coupons" only pull the cost down to where it should be... I always chuckle when I see how much Dell charges for customized items like Wp Media or Pro, MS Office choices, better HDs or upgraded screens.
