wimpy?

these are some of the fastest mobile chips out there, and the
fastest intel makes... unless you are one of the people that
think "a 3ghz processor is faster than a 2ghz processor" which
isnt a true statement. Its possible some 3ghz ones are faster,
and possible some 2ghz ones are faster... Hz is a rating of
frequency, part of which is speed, but its not speed of the
processor.

Just because information is traveling faster inside the 3ghz
processor, doesnt mean that its going to get things done faster,
unless you comparing the exact same processor design, clocked
faster. Its possible to make a very efficent CPU that runs at
lower Hz, and gets the job done faster. This is the whole
reason that AMD chips at lower Hz have been outbenchmarking
intels P4 based chips.
