Intel to show off Sandy Bridge at IDF next week, AMD counters with Zacate demo nearby

I am using Lenovo x301 with SU9400 as CPU.

The CPU is slow compared with mainstream CPUs.

Of course it is, but it is way faster than atom those.

Twice as fast in most cases.

Ontario isn't going to be crazy fast either.

I don't have much faith in AMD mobile performance.

This is one of the most recent reviews of one of their most powerful mobile parts, the quad Phenom II 920.

The performance was super lackluster to say the least.

"What you're looking at then is a quad-core AMD P920 being approximately the equal of Arrandale i3-330M at best; at worst, even Arrandale ULV outperforms the P920 in single-threaded workloads."

I can understand why atom has to be slow. Intel doesn't want to cannibalize their sales anymore than they have already done with the atom.

Luckily AMD doesn't have to worry about such because they don't have that much sales to begin with.
