On this page we are comparing the number crunching performance of the two computers.
The first ScienceMark 2.0 results graph shows tests that are based on time, so lower is better. The new Toshiba notebook with the Core 2 Duo processor is able to outperform the 2.16 GHz CPU in the Dell machine simply due to the architectural changes. SuperPi on the other hand is a very frequency-bound benchmark that gives the Dell system an overall edge.
