The CORE refers to the functional execution units of the processor. It does not include the crossbar, HT interface, memory controller, L2 cache or power plane control. I think I'd rather have a 15-20 watt mobile dual core, each with a 64-bit FPU/SSE unit than a 35-40 watt dual-core with a 128-bit FPU/SSE. The Intel version also needs a 10-15 watt chipset to do its job, and even then the wide FPU is partially wasted because they don't use dual channel PC6400 in notebooks. If the Griffin can hit those kind of power goals, it will be a far better notebook chip than one-size-fits-all Intel. Petz
