Encoding for example is a task where the P-M can't hold a candle to the A64 and the P4.
Games pretty much neck and neck with the A64
in other tests the P-M varies from great to poor.
so really, you can't say that the P-M is better than A64. In fact, over all the A64 is a better all around chip. The P4 is great in media encoding, but poor in games. The P-M is the other way around. The A64 pwns the P4 in games, and while not as fast as the P4 in encoding it still is much better than the P-M in encoding.
by the way....do you think dothan and porskter is one and the same person??
or maybe father and son???
I think they are both Intel empoyees asked to spread FUD.... But I could be wrong.. At any rate I am sick of the FUD....
