Doom 3
Yonah nips at the heels of the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ in our Doom 3 test...
Battlefield 2
...but falls behind in our Battlefield 2 test.
Unreal Tournament 2004
And UT2004 shows the two competitors as fairly close.

I've wanted an AMD 64-bit laptop for a while so that was a good read and made me feel a bit better about Turions.One other interesting thing about Yonah is the power management capabilities. I'd be interested to see the upcoming dual core Turion specs there. For instance, the Yonah, when in battery conservation mode, can turn off a complete core and parts of the L2 cache. I can't imagine the dual core Turion not having similar things, though, it would really give Intel the edge.

UGH! I meant dual core Turion laptops in the last linebhtooefr - Wednesday, November 30, 2005 - link
Umm...Note that it said "Total System Power Consumption" in the graphs...

Yup...my bad. (sorry for that Anand...)I really would like to get more info on the tests though. I understand that they have to keep the origins of the mobo quiet, but without the details it makes it very difficult to gauge exactly what and how the tests were conducted...
I would also LOVE an "edit" function on these things...:)

How about the overclocking experience?
