I see your point, Petz. The AMD laptop makes a better low end gaming platform, and the comparison used a non-ideal subject for comparison. But if you look again at the data I posted, you'll see that the Intel laptop has a larger LCD screen, better performance in non-gaming apps, and is lower power besides (providing equal battery life with a smaller battery). By the way, the part about power provides answers to the previous debate, which was about Intel and AMD idle power. As it turns out, Intel has equal to lower idle power compared to AMD in mobile, along with much lower power under load. "Idle power draw for the dv6500t and the 6515b with a TL-66 are the same at 22W, with the TL-60 using slightly more power... we can clearly conclude that the Intel CPU requires less power to do more work at load. The power delta is 35 W for the T7300, 39 W for the TL-60, and 48 W for the TL-66. AMD does well at reducing their idle power requirements, but when the CPU is actually working Intel leads by a relatively large margin." anandtech.com
