Infact, both AMD X2, Core Duo/Core2Duo are designed for laptop or even you can refer them to thin and light laptop. After AMD release its Turion, the laptop CPU world seems turned upside down. Although many user still not notice this, AMD Turion is actually use less power than Intel P-M in some cases. When X2 release, experimental result show that Turion X2 use less power than Core Duo in any case.
Of course, we are talking about CPU only, not platform. Intel always confuse consumers on CPU with their platform. On system wise, yeah, you are a bit of right. Intel platform with GMA945 save more power than AMD X2. When Gammer change GMA945 to Go7200 or higher GPU, guess what, battery life dropped sharply.
Core 2 Duo is even much horrible. The beta version of 965GMA requires much power increase even higher than Core 2 Duo CPU itself. I don't see a good sign for this new platform.
Talk about performance, AMD only loose points on those applications that are cache intensive. This is also another trick Intel play with. A big example is the SuperPi result that Intel beat AMD almost always. The question is most review post SuperPi with only 2M digit which require only a few memory access. Majority data accessing is done in cach which lean toward Intel. But no body talk about larger digit, what about 32M? 40M? does Intel still maintain large advance? I doubt it.
X2 or Core Duo performance battle is still way to go before you have solid conclusion.
Finally, don't pickup a laptop just because it will work on something that even they don't know what are they talking about. Vista 64 support? I say forget. Laptop is for today use and future dump. Even Vista, 32 should be good enough for normal users.
