Ten, <<Did it ever occur to you that the reason you can't find a comparison is that Intel won't make one?>> <So? Coppermine hasn't been released yet.> Are you deaf same way as Elmer FUD? People are asking YOUR COMPANY where are those benchmark data to compare MOBILE VERSION versus REGULAR. Is it clear enough for now? If not, I'll try again: your mobile "Dixon" is compared to MOBILE P-II. Mobile version of chips usually use several tricks to reduce power consumption at the expense of performance - local stop-clock for example, so it takes more time for some functional units like FPU to wake up and therefore performance suffers. If the new dixon uses smaller feature size, there is no need for this tricks and performance could be better for other reasons than bigger cache. Therefore, it would be highly premature to make performance projections for other desktop chips basing on these "relative" benchmark numbers.
