Hey and your little "The Yonah core will win" statement isn't a completely unbacked statement?? Linux is two times as nice for the average person, yet they continue to use the Windows OS.... SO just because that thing might be better, doesn't mean people are going to use it. I mean, what average computer person (that makes up probobly 60% of the computer-using population; and they believe computers are bred for iPods and movies) is going to use a 64 bit dual core Pentium. Oh yes, what is this "65nm" thign anyways??? Never heard of it.
I'll keep out the Linux V Windows debates. People always like to uprise against the successful. If you haven't already read my reply to one of your past posts regarding Linux, read it here http://www.computerforums.org/showpost.php?p=273748&postcount=17
At least he stated a reason why the Yonah core might 'win'. It's dual core. 65nm is the manufacturing process. Its the size each transistor is on the CPU. 65nm is 6.5x10^-8 meters. Very small. The smaller the Manufacturing method, the lower the voltage needed, hence the lower the relative heat output. It also means that more CPU dies can be made in a wafer during manufacturing that leads so cheaper chips.
