Yonah will be fine at Winstone and Linux compilations, but it just is not a good overall CPU, as Anand's recent expose` made clear. 533 FSB is 3 steps back in memory+I/O bandwidth, expecially for a dual-core CPU.

and surrounding pages. Other than Winbench, there are very few applications where Pentium M outperforms its big-brother Pentium 4. Take a look at the next page and you'll find that an equally clocked Athlon 64 outperforms Pentium M in 4 out of 6 categories of applications and ties in the other 2.

from conclusion:
Think of it like this - the Pentium 4 and Athlon 64 are clearly the stronger chips of the three, as we have proved in today's review. However, in the mobile world, the Pentium 4 and Athlon 64 are often castrated or limited either by low clock speeds, single channel memory controllers or more physical constraints (e.g. you can get desktop P4 performance, but only in a 13lbs notebook). The Pentium M however, was designed from the ground up with these types of constraints in mind, and thus, excels quite well with them in place. Begin to remove the constraints and the Pentium M appears to be much less impressive compared to the Pentium 4 and Athlon 64 because the chip was designed to perform best with those constraints in place.
