Intel's mobile chips have never been strong in media encoding, but the Core Duo certainly is making progress in the right direction. The Athlon64 X2 4800+ takes the lead in our video encoding test and the Core Duo trails behind slightly but remains ahead of the Pentium-D, which historically has been stronger in encoding tasks versus legacy Pentium-M architectures. Finally, the Core Duo T2500 and Athlon64 X2 4800+ sit neck and neck in our LAME encoding test. Intel's Core Duo line continues to show significantly better performance per watt versus either AMD or Intel Desktop dual-core CPUs that are available currently.
