Even if it doesn't beat it, it will probably be within 10% of its performance or within 10-15% of its power consumption. But for half the price, it seems like a no-brainer. I'm hoping they can do something similar with their APUs, too. It could really bring back AMD chips in notebooks in a big way if they sold quad-cores for similar single-thread performance, but same price as Intel's dual cores. You'd basically get twice the chip for the same price. I also hope they streamline their branding (yes, again). At least with Intel you kind of know which chip is which (no thanks to Intel, which is trying to make things ever more confusing with each generation) because Intel's chips are much more popular. But AMD can't use confusing numbers and brand names and expect people to understand what they are. People need to get what their brand model represents just by reading it.
