    What is the benchmark on the two and which one is faster. I run into trouble running my car scan tool with the intel chips on the 5000t and 2000t . The scan usb tool takes 100miliamps and usb set up in the intel models is different then the AMD models. When running the scan tool with the 2000 and 5000 z models the tool works perfect

    The Core Duo based 6000t will outperform the Turion X2 based 6000z.

    On a clock-for-clock basis. Don't take this, however, as the X2-based laptops as being weak on performance and bad processors. They're not, but the Core and Core 2 based notebooks tend to be able to perform tasks such as audio encoding and other multimedia-based tasks faster.

    In case you're wondering, it's going to be a good couple of months before AMD has anything in the notebook area to be able to close the gap (possibly out-perform?) with Intel.

    If you want to learn some differences, check out Tom's Hardware Guide's review of the Turion X2. As questionable as some people find THG, the review is better than nothing. Google search for benchmark comparisons, if nothing else.
