After a little more than 6 months of presence on the market, Core Duo has us already to show all its capacities as well on the level of the performances as of autonomy. The potential buyers not having made their choice yet are extremely likely to await the arrival of the future generation of processors dual core for mobile platforms: Core 2 Duet, code name Merom. There are strong chances so that it is even more powerful and even less greedy in energy but he is likely to be sold a little expensive, which is already the case of Core Duo compared to Turion 64 x2. Moreover, this last is largely enough powerful to ensure you of many hours of production in all kinds, especially in a portable computer. Concerning Turion 64 x2, I must say that I expected all the same something of a little more, how to say, more “exotic”, more “new”. It is in fact nothing whole. It insipid, without any savour and especially left a little late after Core Duo what makes think of “heated”. Certe, the performances are there and it is about a very good processor for mobile platform the more so as the policy of consistent AMD to surround itself by many manufacturers of chipsets, WLAN, and others allows the manufacturers and assemblers a greater flexibility in their choices of components, but nothing made there, we have the unpleasant impression of “already considering”…

The principal interest of Turion 64 x2 at present remains the assumption of responsibility of the instructions 64 bits (from where the presence of the label Vista Capable) but especially its price like very often at AMD since compared with Core Duo, Turion 64 x2 is less expensive

Isn't that the shi77iest Duo in existance?

Crap vs crap. The crap wins.

On the other hand it is not the same with the sound harmful effects which emanate from these 2 portable computers. The S271-W1 makes a true noise of turbine since that is necessary with impressive variations whereas the S262-W1 offers a completely acceptable noise level, to see very appreciable.

For power consumption, on page 8 they list the battery life for three typical tasks. Assuming the 8 cell battery is equal to about 64 whr, we get average power consumption of:

S271 (Turion)
DVD: 26.3W
Office: 24.5W
Full: 44.1W

S262 (Core Duo)
DVD: 21.8W
Office: 18.3W
Full: 33.7W

Regarding the Turion 64 x2, I must say that I was expecting something (how should I put it?) a little more “exotic”, more “new”. It is in fact nothing of the sort. It's insipid, without any flavor, and overcooked, considering it came out 6 months later than Core Duo. The word "reheated" comes to mind.

Hey, there is no need to be so offensive on 9nm. This is not his first, nor the last time to post a crap. Anyway, he said nothing about which one is good and which one is not. He said that we should make our own conclusions. So we can talk about the subject and the subject is not 9nm, no matter if some dosn't like him. Right?

Oh, and try to be consistent - http://forumz.tomshardware.com/har [...] 20#1122320

Some clear dislike there.
