Dudes, Turion II (ultra or not) have 128-bit SSE engine, so while the performance gap with Core 2 will remain at ~20% for turion and ~10% for ultra clock-for-clock on most mundane applications, the significantly higher handicap when it comes to SSE will now be reduced such that turion II ultra will effectively compete with, and even outpace, core2 given a 10% higher clock rate (e.g. turion II ultra @2.6GHz essentially performs the same as core2 @2.4GHz on just about any tasks) “Tigris, then, should benchmark at around the same level as Puma, assuming same-speed processors are used”.
