the article did provide us with a clue and that is it stated that automatic mode shaves 5%-10% off battery life. That tells me that in automatic mode both athlon and pIII would loose 5%-10% of battery life but athlon stands to gain a higher performance jump vs pIII that would still operate at the same frequency.
The article virtually states that the performance ratios would be quite different in automatic mode.
The article is only good for comparing .18 PIII vs .13 T. PIII

<BTW, I have owned a Sony Vaio with a PIII for about 9 months now. Works great.>

I think we bought the same system at the same time. I think mine is a 600, and I love it. It runs almost every bit as fast as my Athlon desktop at almost twice the MHz (except under heavy multitasking).
