No Dangerous Wild Cat This!

AMD has released their 'Puma' range of notebook processors.The all familiar AMD Turion was pretty hopeless against the really powerful Centrino Duo.
Strangely, I've heard that the puma range will not be able to match the Centrino range anyway?!?!Whats the use of bringing out a new range of processors then, if it can't even beat what its rival already has?!This doesn't even save power compared to the Turion range either!It uses 65-nm transistors, which was offered by Intel ages ago.This means it doesn't stand a chance against Intel, who now uses 45-nm ones.Speed, energy efficiency all go to Centrino.
Then again, the Puma does have better graphics capabilities than Centrino's current 'Santa-Rosa' platform, with better Direct X 10 capabilities.
All in all, I still think Centrino is better.
