Evan,
In context: several times I have been on the brink of purchasing a Dell XPS notebook. It has a P4 3.4HT . I'll be using it as a pseudo-server doing an enormous processing task, hence the desire for speed. However it only comes with a 15.4" WUXGA screen which is a bit squinty.
Sony has released a 17" WUXGA VAIO that has a truly fantastic screen- but its fastest offering is the 2.0 Centrino. If I could only discover the "real" performance difference, I might be able to buy the Sony rather than waiting for the 17" Dell 9200 that is supposed to be secret before its release on 15 November.
At a time when most manufacturers are putting desktop chips in notebooks, it seems weird there are no stats. such is life.
Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
