Beware of flawed CPU efficiency study

Update 2/22/2008 - I originally used the word "rigged" to describe Neal Nelson's study. My reasoning for using the word "rigged" was due to the fact that the test platforms used in Nelson's study painted an inaccurate picture. Nelson's study omitted two generations of Intel products while including...

Earlier today, I received an e-mail from an Intel spokesperson reminding me that the vPro version of Intels mobile processors are on tap (heres the news from News.coms Tom Krazit). From a branding perspective, its a double whammy for Intel (and customers who might think theres more to a brand...
