Yousuf, did you notice that the 35W Turions were tested when 25W
equivalents are available for $6 more? Or that the Pentium M's cost
about $200 more than the Turions?
Err, there's no such thing as an MT-44 (yet). The highest speed grade
of the MT line is the MT-40 (2.2GHz/1MB L2 cache as I recall).
Performance wouldn't be too far away from the ML-44 (2.4GHz/1MB L2),
but still a bit behind.
As for pricing, the ML-40 costs $220 and the MT-40 costs $268, a
difference of $48. The difference in price between the two lines is
only $5 up to the ML-34 vs. MT-34, but at higher speed grades it
grows.
That being said, the fact that the ML-44 is able to stay well within
the same power consumption range as the Pentium-M is still a pretty
impressive feat. The downside to this comparison is that they are
comparing two desktop systems with laptop chips in them, so it might
not fully reflect actual laptop power consumption. One of the
complaints I've heard about Turion laptops is that the chipsets used
with these processors consume a fair bit more power than Intel's
mobile chipsets that get paired with Pentium-M chips.
