As for your CPUs:
If your P4(mobile) is one of those big cache Centrino things,
No such chip Martin, P4M and the P-M that is part of the Centrino
package
are completely different CPUs - the P-M is based on the PIII Tualatin,
not
the P4 - that's why it's IPC is so much higher, like Athlon's - better
in
fact.
Snippers...........
Thanks for the correction...
My only meagre feeble excuse is that I'd forgotton what the Israeli
group's P-M much improved rework was based on... (:-((
An excellent design that hits a very good compromise for efficiency. So
good that it is beating the P4 in some respects!
If you edit that to "all" instead of "some" then I'll agree with you -
amazing IPC, better than Athlon (!), very low Vcore and power consumption -
a real winner..!
There have been quite a few calls for the Israeli P-M to be released for the
desktop too but I doubt it will happen whilst Intel continue to succeed in
selling of partially dud P4s as 'Celeron'...
