how will yonah compare?

[her34]

what do you think a dual core pentium-m 1.6ghz would be equivalent to compared to a64 x2 cpu's?

Well I think the would be about the same, but I don't like to speculate, so let's wait and see the benchies.

When will Yonah be released?

no one can say, not really a point in asking.

End of this year / Early Next year . There is an Extream version that the have planned thats over 2.26+Ghz It will use however 50 + watts. The rest will be under 50 watts including a 2.26 ghz model.

Assuming nothing insanely revolutionary gets thrown into Yonah (haven't heard of anything), I'd say each core will perform about the same as a dothan core (Yonah gets slight core enhancements but shares the 2mb cache). This means that they will be a bit better than A64s clock for clock. So a 1.6GHz yonah should be about the equivalent (or slightly slower) than an X2 1.8GHz with 512k cache per core.

Which means since the AMD has no 1.8ghz dul core versions it will be slower then anything AMD currently has...

2.26ghz would likely be close to 4800+ performance levels, but by then we should have a few spped bumps and possible M2 socket...

Speculative games like this only make fools out of us...

There's nothing wrong with speculation as long as we all understand that we dont know enough to get a definitive answer and we respect each other's opinion (since we're all just taking guesses with what we know). That doesnt mean we cant refute someone's answer, only that we shouldnt assume that our thinking is absolutely accurate.
