Quick question - Core Duo 2Ghz to P4 lingo?

[Aosh]

I'm just curious to know that if I get a 2.0GHz Core Duo laptop, from a pure CPU crunching standpoint (assume no other bottlenecks), how that compares to my 2.8GHz P4 HT?

Beats it. Comparable to a dual core A64 @ 2Ghz I imagine.

 

[Extelleron]

Way, way better. Compares to the Athlon 64 in performance per clock.

wow. Guess my new laptop is gonna beat my desktop!! And I thought my desktop was pretty fast... 😵

the core duo is superpi'ing stock like a A64 on a 2-3 stage cascade 😀
