| 210781 | 2004-01-28 15:04:00 | I am buying a notebook at the end of the year.Hope i can get a good p4 notebook or athlon for 2000 dollars. Whats the difference between pentium4 and pentium M and also pentum centrino. Am i right that pentium M doesn't exceed 1.5ghz?Whats pentium centrino. There's pentium 4 and pentium M notebooks.Which one is faster? Then whats with pentium centrino?Huh?Don't understand. There' 3 different kind of pentiums.Sigh... What are the hardware differences? Is it because intel didn't develop the chip further for the Pentium M thats why it you cannot get one that exceeds 1.5ghz? |

And the funny thing is that "Pentium" was the fifth generation (hence "pent" referring to five), yet with pentium 4, it should be nontium (or something like that!) ;) |

| 210784 | 2004-01-29 14:52:00 | I was wondering if pentium 4 hyper threading is faster than intel centrino Why cant they just stick wif one or two pentiums.So confusing to know which ones faster Athlon is more clear to understand |

| 210785 | 2004-01-29 19:53:00 | Its not about speed, but battery life. Pentium M is the Centrino CPU, but they didnt do a few other things to the laptop, such as Wireless Networking... Or something silly like that. Pentium 4 is just their stock Desktop CPU, and it chews through the Battery a lot more than its Mobile/Laptop-based counterparts. Personally, if you have the $$, go with a Pentium M/Centrino. Chill. |
