Yonah Preview Part II
As promised in the first part today AnandTech published the second part of the Yonah Performance Preview.

We continue to see that the Core Duo can offer, clock for clock, overall performance identical to that of AMD's Athlon 64 X2 - without the use of an on-die memory controller. The only remaining exception at this point appears to be 3D games, where the Athlon 64 X2 continues to do quite well, most likely due to its on-die memory controller.

Thing is- you have to overclock Dothan's to the end of their overclocking spectrum to match a FX-57, while a FX-57 can go into the 3 GHz+ range easily on air, along with many Opteron processors. Cant wait for 65 nm AMD :toast:
People are underestimating Socket M2; DDR2, improved memory controller, 65 nm (I thought?) and a 333HT@ 2GHz (not sure what HTT multiplier is going to be used)
