The single core Turions were tested with crappy DDR333 ram

Where as all the Core Duo tests were done with DDR2.

Anyway, the Core Duo is a savage chip, I ran a 1 M run of Super PI on a friends Dell core Duo 1.66ghz laptop. And it completed it in 36 seconds:eek:

An FX-57 takes 30 seconds.

And there is a 1.83ghz a 2ghz and a 2.16ghz model available:eek:

These are amazing chips:)
