which one has better performance, AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL-60/1.9GHz or
Intel
Core 2 Duo T5670/1.80GHz?

The cheaper one ;-)

Years ago (back in the original Pentium and pre-Pentium days), I was a
die-hard Intel fan. After the PII came out, and the AMD K7 Slot A followed
it, the PII cost almost twice as much. Since I was going to need a new MB
no
matter which CPU I bought, I decided to give the AMD a shot. I never
regretted that choice- it ran everything at home as well as my work PC
with
the PII ran stuff at work. I have been running AMD's ever since, even in
the
notebooks I had (except my latest one, a Gateway M6850-FX with the Intel
Centrino Duo Mobile Technology Intel CoreT 2 Duo processor T5550 1.83GHz
CPU. The only reason I got it was because of the dedicated video card.).
My
home PC has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ running @ 2.5GHz. My guess is that
with the newer CPU's (since the PIII's, anyhow), it would be hard to tell
the difference in performance without a good benchmark program. As far as
the average user is concerned, I don't think that equally equipped systems
would have any discernable difference in performance.

Just my humble opinion. . .

Does laptop with AMD Athlon CPU heated much more than Intel?
