reading this test shows there is not a lot of difference though the trend is to favour the C2D setup. Being an industrial user of PC/laptop where large databases are used in C++ or Dotnet environments which are dedicated written software for custommers I can only say the very sad thing which is happening because of PR on Intels side and reviews like this on Anands site f.i that the picture is created : AMD is always the slower part but for me as industrial user the picture is the reverse(Except maybe video or media stuff). I can totally stall a C2D 1.83mhz chip with multiple tasks like getting a database in, comparing it to another database over WiFi, and approving or rejecting it over a long period of time and with a constant high density data flow of input values versus even a simple sempron 2600+ laptop absolutely having no problems with it. The saddest thing though is that there are so few IPPC/industrial/embedded PC's with Athlon64 chips in them, its like going with a candle in the night looking for something, Intels PR and tests like these don't help.
Intels are fine for everyday use but in some industrial environments they cause me a lot of headaches.
This posting is not ment to create any fud but please bear in mind a lot of people are reading these reviews and decide. As always bear in mind the use of the PC/laptop.
