    Intel Core Duo 2.0 Benchmarks VS. Dual Core Pentiums?

     
    I googled to find some benchmark results for the new Apple Intel Core Duo 2.0 processor VS. and AMD or Pentium. My google skills may be lacking as I was not able to find an article. Perhaps on of you has found something or can point me in a direction? I am very curious. Thanks.

    yeah I figured some magazine editor who wanted the hot article would have obtained the info all ready.

    The 2.0GHz Core Duo processer appears to be ROUGHLY equal to
    an AMD Athlon64 FX dual-core CPU running at the same clock speed,
    though the AMD is still generally a bit faster at some multimedia
    and gaming functions.

    Of course, the Core Duo is suitable as a mobile CPU, so until AMD
    comes out w/ a dual-core Turion, it's hard to make more direct
    comparisons.

    Ooops! I meant Athlon64 X2 CPU, not FX, even though the highest
    end FX's ARE dual-core! Also, the Core Duo runs at about 1/3 the
    wattage of the X2/FX chips (31W vs 89-110W).

    AMD Anthlon FX Dual-Core? ..No such thing? The FX Chips are single core chips.

    Core Duo 2.0? Is that a new one, or is it the same as what they have had out for a while?
