The Chipzila mobile setup beat the A* server system in almost all of the benchmarks, most of the shortcomings came from I/O rather than those that has great CPU attention. The mobile processor also overclocks so well, which according to the article, easily breaks 50% on the clock frequency. Of course, the motherboard has to be tweaked, but nothing out of the ordinary such as voltmodding or anything, but just a quick jumper change settings.
Anyway, since it is AMDTech, the usual bashing still appears:
There was no real incentive to compare the AOpen board and our processor to other Intel offerings as the entire lineup will be changing shortly, not to mention it would have been an embarrassment for the NetBurst based processors - especially during the thermal and power testing. We did not have the entire Core Duo product line in house yet so this option was off the table in doing cost comparative analysis against other Intel or AMD products. However, we will be providing a full platform comparison in an upcoming HTPC article centered on the Core Duo, Pentium D 805/920, and AMD X2 processors
Anyway, if you can stomach and skip the bashign (don't worry, not too much this time around), head on there and check their article.
