Advantages: speed, perormance, no dodgy intel media graphics
Disadvantages: none really

...The processor operates at 1.9 Ghz which is not the fastest processor in the world, the fastest in the family of processors is the Turion TL-66 at 2.3Ghz. This speed is definately not bad though, with many intel laptop processors coming in at around 1.6 Ghz to 2Ghz. The speed is definately more than fast enough for the standard home user and probably fine for business use or even professional use. Although it is not the fastest it is still reasonable, and it has to be said that being a laptop processor it can not be expected to reach the same speeds as desktop processors which I have known to reach 3.2Ghz. For anyone out there who is not technologically minded like me, and who does not understand Ghz, Mhz etc, it is quite fast, that is the simple version. PERFORMANCE The performance of the processor is great and it really is good at being a steady... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, sufficient performance, low power consuption
Disadvantages: Core processors are faster and overclock better

...As an Amd fan I often check the performance of the new Amd products. Based on a new 65 nm architecture I really expected that this processor is better than than the X2 3800 processor but I had mixed opinions and I'm a little disappointed. The good things: Dual core decent performance at low price Small power consumption , approximate 60 w at full load and only 8w when Cool‘n’Quiet is enabled. Pretty good. Good stability, The processor is stable and cold tanks to 65 nm fabrication technology Integrated memory controller. Good price The nod so good things: The new l2 cache memory is slower than the old 90 nm fabrication technology Doesn't overclock as good as core 2 processors Smaller performance than x2 3800 in some applications and also smaller performance than the Intel e4000 in many applications...
