Barcelona Launch Clock Speeds Changing?

Of course you can compare them. The C2D desktop and laptop parts are IDENTICAL. There is absolutely no difference except speed binning (to keep thermals down). Except for slower FSBs, the designs are identical down to the last transistor.

Exactly.

Interesting fact: AMD has a special mobile process for their mobile chips (thicker gate oxides, etc), designed to reduce idle leakage. This was how the 90nm Turion 64 parts could defeat the 90nm Dothan parts for real-world workloads. This was true for the 90nm Turion 64 series; I don't know about the 65nm parts though.
