As you can see here the single core Pentium M 740 processor puts up some very respectable numbers! In most of the tests, the Pentium M 740 is able to outperform the AMD Sempron 3600+ processor in most tests which is rather impressive. In the Internet portion of SYSMark2004, the Pentium M 740 performs at about half of what the AMD Athlon64 FX-62 scores but remember the Pentium M only has a single core while the FX-62 is dual core.
