The Turion and the Athlon64's are more or less equivalent at the same clock speeds. The Turion might be a bit slower given the fact that it uses single channel memory vs. dual on the A64's.

For the Pentium M check out this review...

For the Core Duo...

These should give you the general idea on the performance, but they might vary depending on the programs you are going to run.
