Why you think Turion isn't competive?

I can buy one for 929EUR, 512 MiB Ram, a Turion64 1.6Ghz CPU, 80 GB, 
DVD±RW DL Writer, Modem, Ethernet 10/100Mb, 801.11g, USB2.0

The shop is having it in storage.

I gave you evicence on the validiy of these number, what you give me is 
a vague expectation based on nothing... please back up your claims with 
numbers, or don't claim anything.

http://www.hardtecs4u.com/reviews/2005/amd_90nm/index5.php
Official TDP by AMD: 67 Watt
Testet with Prime95: 38.65 Watt

If you look at the old Athlon64 3500+, you will notice AMD's TDP is set 
at 89, the test measured 59.32. Same goes for the FX-55 offical number 
is 104Watts, and measured in this test 72.99...

I'm curious what you tested.
