Dude want to know freaking why the Yonah is on par with the 3800X2?? Its because yonah is a mobile cpu, not a desktop cpu. I hate how you compare apples to oranges. We are all waiting for AMD to release a dual core mobile CPU, have they done that? No. Get your facts straight and compare apples to apples. The only reason anandtech decided to compare the 3800 X2 was because that was the lowest end dual core AMD has. But when they bump up the TDP rating on the Conroe, it will perform better. And for all you AMD fanboys, the FX line of the A64s are becoming like Prescotts, yes, i said it. They are becoming like prescotts.
**TAKEN FROM GURU3D.COM "You may notice the TDP on the Athlon 64 FX-62 has been increased to 125W. Like Intel, there was a large emphasis on TDP this time around. The Athlon FX series is approaching thermal envelopes reminiscent of Prescott, and it seems clear to all parties involved that something more innovative needs to occur to counter that trend."** Way to lower the heat AMD.
